WHAT HAPPENED?
Kane could be in the running for the individual award after spearheading Bayern's Bundesliga title victory and impressing in the USA would push his case forward further. However the England skipper is adamant it is not on his mind.

WHAT KANE SAID
Kane said: "Every individual award is the result of what you achieve as a team. Of course, I'm more focused on helping my team, whether with goals, assists, or even without the ball. When you receive an individual award, it's a bonus for what you've achieved during the season. If we win the Club World Cup after the Bundesliga, it would mean we're one of the best teams in Europe and the world. We'll see if that results in a personal award for me, but that's not on my mind right now."
