De Zerbi Backs Harry Kane for 2026 Ballon d’Or Ahead of Mbappé and Yamal
Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has backed Harry Kane to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, describing the England captain as a complete and versatile footballer. De Zerbi said Kane can influence matches in several roles, from leading the attack to dropping deep and linking play. He believes those qualities set the Bayern Munich forward apart from other contenders, including Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal. Kane is reportedly among the leading candidates after scoring more than 70 goals for club and country during the 2025–26 season. He would become the first English player to win the award since Michael Owen in 2001 if he claims it.
