albayan.ae (Arabic) —

England and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane said he would feel "immense pride" if awarded a knighthood, but admitted he would find it "strange" to be called "Sir." He made the comments after winning the Ballon d'Or on Monday. Kane, who won the prestigious award following an exceptional year with club and country, told reporters he "wouldn't refuse" the honor. He added it would be "amazing" and a source of "great pride," but he does not want to "get ahead of events." Speaking after Bayern's German Cup win on Wednesday, Kane said the title "sounds good" but he would feel "weird" if everyone called him "Sir." He asked people to continue calling him "Harry" for now.
