Carragher: Kane Would Never Have Won Ballon d'Or at Tottenham

goal.com —

Harry Kane won the 2026 Ballon d'Or, becoming the first English winner since Michael Owen in 2001, but Jamie Carragher insists the striker would never have achieved this had he stayed at Tottenham. Kane beat Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal to the award after scoring 73 goals for club and country, including a third-place World Cup finish with England. Carragher credited the Bayern Munich move as essential for the visibility needed to win. Since leaving Spurs in 2023, Kane has scored 156 goals in 159 games for Bayern. Carragher argued Tottenham's lack of trophies and Champions League pedigree would have prevented Kane from winning the Golden Ball.
