Former Premier League winner Alan Shearer believes Harry Kane's "insane" goal record should secure him this year's Ballon d'Or over Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal. Kane scored 73 goals for club and country last season, helping Bayern Munich win a league and cup double and captaining England to their best World Cup finish since 1966. He has already netted six goals in seven matches for Bayern this season and six for England in recent international games. Yamal, a teenage sensation, achieved a domestic double with Barcelona and helped Spain win their second World Cup this summer, with 42 goal involvements in 45 matches. He is the first teenager to win both the European Championships and the World Cup. Gary Lineker and Micah Richards also expressed their desire for Kane to win, acknowledging Yamal's achievements but highlighting Kane's consistent scoring. The award ceremony will be held in London in October.
