Former Liverpool and England international, Steven Gerrard, said Bayern Munich’s forward Harry Kane deserves to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, having had a stellar performance across all competitions this season.
While speaking with TNT, the Liverpool legend further highlighted how the Three Lions’ captain could win the top-most individual award.
He believed that if Kane scores more goals and shows more top performances, he could add another medal by the end of the season.
“I think that would be huge. I think that probably puts one hand on it [Ballon d’Or] for him,” the former Aston Villa manager said of Kane regarding the 2026 Ballon d’Or.

“Then, if he was to go away with England and have a successful tournament in terms of goals and where England gets to in the competition, I think he would strengthen his case.”
Despite suffering defeat from PSG in the semi-final on Wednesday, football fans believe Bayern Munich’s forward still has an edge to win this year’s Ballon d’Or.
