Story updated
The story in brief
31-second readGraeme Souness has backed Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or. Souness waxed lyrical about the England captain’s goalscoring, though he also raised concerns about the level of competition in the Bundesliga.
Kane is among the favourites to claim football’s most prestigious individual award after another remarkable season with Bayern. However, Souness believes the striker’s achievements must be considered alongside the strength of the German league compared to the Premier League.
The 33-year-old had an outstanding campaign last season, scoring 61 goals in 51 appearances. His impressive performances helped Vincent Kompany’s side win a domestic double, while Kane also claimed the Bundesliga Golden Boot and the European Golden Shoe.
