Ex-England striker, Emile Heskey has come out to back Harry Kane to win the Ballon d’Or if Bayern Munich win the UCL in May. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, winning a UCL and Bundesliga double would definitely put Kane in contention for the Ballon d’Or award, and players always stand a better chance when they keep scoring goals.
He added that fans will have to wait and see whether those trophies can tip things in his favour enough to actually win.
His words, “I can see Harry Kane winning the Ballon d’Or this year, 100%. With Kane, you always know you’re going to get goals. It’s great to see that he’s likely to win a trophy this year too, at least the Bundesliga, which will only help his Ballon d’Or case and put him in the running.
We’ll have to wait and see whether that tips things in his favour enough for him to actually win the award, but he’ll always be in the running when he’s scoring goals at the rate that he does. A Bundesliga and Champions League double would definitely put in him contention for the Ballon d’Or.”
WOW.
