Former England international thinks Argentina World Cup loss could open Ballon d’Or for Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane

Harry Kane was spectacular for FC Bayern last season.

Former England international thinks Argentina World Cup loss could open Ballon d’Or for Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane

Former England international Danny Mills believes Harry Kane deserves serious consideration for the Ballon d’Or after a stellar year for club and country. Mills told talkSPORT Bet slots site that Kane has been the most consistent player in football so far this year, performing exceptionally both for Bayern Munich and on the international stage.

Mills acknowledged that Lionel Messi's Argentina team may still secure the World Cup, but he suspects the voting for the Ballon d’Or might not favor him entirely. He noted that the final outcome of the World Cup did not go as planned for Argentina, and this may have influenced the voting process.

The consistency and excellence of Kane's performances have made him one of the most compelling candidates for the prestigious award. His goal-scoring numbers, contributions to Bayern Munich, and international efforts have consistently placed him among the world's elite footballers throughout the year. Mills highlighted that this year's Ballon d’Or race is particularly intriguing as there does not appear to be an obvious favorite who has dominated at both club and international levels.

As the voting process may now be open, it could be the year that Harry Kane receives the recognition his remarkable consistency deserves.
