Kane primed to pip Yamal, Mbappe to Ballon d’Or glory.
They want everyone to go, all the big names, and there will be more people watching it if they don't know." The post Kane primed to pip Yamal, Mbappe to Ballon d’Or glory appeared first on Vanguard News .
England captain Harry Kane is the favourite to win a wide open race to be crowned Ballon d’Or winner at a glitzy London ceremony on Monday, with Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe also in the running to be named the world’s best footballer.
The 70th edition of the award, established by the magazine France Football, will be hosted in England for the first time in recognition of the first winner Stanley Matthews and fittingly could have a first English winner for 25 years.
Bayern Munich striker Kane struck a remarkable 73 goals in 65 games for club and country last season, leading the German giants to a league and cup double and England to the semi-finals of the World Cup. “I’d love to be able to achieve something like that. I would be a massive milestone in my career,” said the 33-year-old. But semi-final exits in both the Champions League and World Cup for Kane means the outcome is far from certain.
