We do not need to over-complicate what should be a simple award: Harry Kane has been, by some distance, the best footballer anywhere in the world over the last year.
To watch Kane right now, in the year he turned 33, is to feel in the presence of mastery. He continues to add layers to his game, marrying his unique football brain with technical ingenuity. He is not just the world’s best No 9 but probably the world’s best No 10 too.
No one else in the running can make a claim like that.

🚨 Harry Kane on the Ballon d'Or: “Of course, now it is out of my hands, it is down to the voters and the people who decide it. The season I had was my best season by far, and we'll have to wait and see”.
“I'm happy that I am in contention, so we will have to wait and see”, told TNT Sports.
Oh so now he has all the quotes ready but when Dreesen said Kane deserves the Ballon Dor this cancer of a journalist was tweeting about Alvarez not smiling in training
@TheGoatedDuck1@FcbMiasanmia8 I can’t really give you a specific name right now besides Haaland who isn’t really a realistic option. But I do think many names will emerge in a few years time
