‘World’s best striker’ Kane should win top honor ‘now’: Ex-England stars praise captain
Harry Kane should be presented with the Ballon d’Or, the most prestigious individual award in world football, “now”.
That’s what former England defender Rio Ferdinand demanded after the Bayern Munich striker scored a brace to send the Three Lions into the last 16.
Ferdinand was active online during and after England’s victory, declaring in another post on X: “The captain does it again.”
“Harry Kane has scored 72 goals for club and country this season. WOW!!! Just take it into account. 72 goals this season,” he added.
Apparently Ferdinand was jubilant after England’s return – and perhaps a little overwhelmed with the praise?
But another former England star also praised Kane.
Michael Owen called Kane “the best finisher in the world.”
