Paul Lambert Names Harry Kane as Top Contender for Ballon d'Or
Paul Lambert, the former manager of Aston Villa, has identified Harry Kane, currently with Bayern Munich, as a worthy candidate for the 2026 Ballon d'Or. Lambert praised Kane's exceptional goalscoring record, describing it as "phenomenal." In an interview with BOYLE Sports, Lambert acknowledged the difficulty of winning the Ballon d'Or without having secured a World Cup or a Champions League title, referencing players like Rodri who have achieved such honors.
He stated, “Would he be a worthy winner? Yeah, he would be a worthy winner," but emphasized the competitive nature of the award, particularly for those without major trophies.
