Harry Kane on players like Yamal and Mbappé publicly campaigning for themselves for the Ballon d'Or:
"Everyone is entitled to do what they want to do in that situation. Obviously the Ballon d'Or has become bigger and bigger over recent years, mainly because of social media, and all the noise, and all the conversations about it.
From my point of view, it's just not my personality to talk about myself in that light. I'm still very proud of what I've done. And from a principle point of view, I know what I achieved last year was as good as anyone. So I don't want to shy away from that either. But ultimately, my mindset is to move on.
“I think the timing of the Ballon d'Or is tough, because you're already in a new season, you're already focused on what I can achieve this year. And after every game you're talking about what you've done last year
So it's hard for me to get my head around that. But from my point of view, it would be unbelievable to win it, I'd be extremely proud to win it.
I think I'm definitely in the running to win it, without a doubt. So time will tell, the voters will vote for who they want.
Whether [other contenders] doing more interviews or less interviews has an impact on that, it obviously has an impact socially, and on the debate around it, for sure.
But the actual voters, I'm not 100 per cent sure. I think the voters will vote for who they think deserves it, and they'll have the information, the stats, and they'll decide
I think from my point of view, it makes me more proud when other people talk about me, when other team-mates or ex-players or whoever it is, people who compliment me on what I’ve achieved. I think that makes me more proud than me trying to talk about it myself."
