Harry Kane has said that personal statistics will not be enough to influence his Ballon d’Or chances this season, insisting that only major trophies will determine whether he is considered among the world’s best.  The Bayern Munich striker, who has produced one of the most prolific goalscoring runs of his career, made it clear that his focus remains on team success rather than individual accolades. His comments arrive at a time when he is dominating the German Bundesliga scoring charts and carrying Bayern’s attack in both domestic and European competitions, placing him firmly in the global spotlight.
