Paulinho backs former Spurs team-mate Kane for Ballon dOr tilt, says Haaland is unstoppable - Soccer News
"The way football is today, I think it depends, obviously, on the team's performance as well, but with the way he has been playing for many years now, yes, there is a possibility. If I have that thought, I imagine that he also has it, and he might feel he can be in the running for the Ballon d'Or one day."
"Harry Kane was always a boy who attracted a lot of attention. When he was with us, I always saw in Harry a certain ease and a difference from other young players. When he came up to train with the professionals, the way he shot, the way he was hungry to score goals and the way he behaved, he was a boy who always attracted attention."
Harry Kane has scored 23 goals and provided three assists in 17 games for Bayern Munich this season. He leads all players from Europe's top five leagues for both goals and total goal involvements. Kane's 23 goals came from 14.8 expected goals, producing an xG overperformance of 8.2, the highest by any player. He has converted 16 of 27 Opta-defined big chances (59.3%). Kane finished 13th in the 2025 Ballon d'Or voting. A former Tottenham teammate backed Kane as a potential Ballon d'Or contender while acknowledging Erling Haaland as an unstoppable rival.
