Former Manchester United defender Gary Pallister echoed the sentiment, highlighting Kane's extraordinary numbers across domestic and European tournaments.
"I think Harry Kane's got a great chance of winning the Ballon d'Or.
If you can't win the Ballon d'Or with 67 goals, then I don't know what you need to do," Pallister said.
Pallister noted that Kane has rewritten his narrative after doubts following previous international campaigns.
"He's back scoring goals for England, he's smashing them in at club level in the Champions League and Bundesliga, probably in the form of his life," Pallister explained.
According to data from GiveMeSport, Kane scored 51 goals and provided 7 assists in 67 appearances for Bayern Munich across all competitions in the 2025-26 season.
