Harry Kane addresses Premier League return talk after Ballon d'Or win, as Tottenham fans dream
Tottenham Hotspur legend Harry Kane has refused to rule out a future return to the Premier League following his latest Ballon d'Or triumph. Harry Kane finally got his crowning moment on Monday night, October 26, 2026, after he was named Footballer of the Year following an outstanding 2025-26 campaign.
The former Spurs man was superb throughout the Ballon d'Or year, managing a whopping 73 goals in 65 appearances while also grabbing eight assists. His contribution was also pivotal to the success of Bayern Munich, with Kane helping them to the Bundesliga title.
His 36 goals in 26 starts helped deliver the silverware, while his 14 goals in the Champions League led Bayern to the semi-finals of the competition. His 10 goals in six DFB-Pokal outings, including a hat-trick in the final against Stuttgart, were also enough for him to pick up the DFB-Pokal trophy.

MORE SPURS STORIES From one-season wonder to one of a kind, from zero trophies to five, including a Ballon d'Or, the Englishman has certainly silenced his critics.
However, there remains one more record he is yet to break, which is the all-time Premier League goalscoring record held by Alan Shearer. Rank Player Goals Premier League clubs 1 Alan Shearer 260 Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle United 2 Harry Kane 213 Norwich City, Tottenham Hotspur 3 Wayne Rooney 208 Everton, Manchester United 4 Mohamed Salah 193 Chelsea, Liverpool 5 Andrew Cole 187 Newcastle United, Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers, Fulham, Manchester City, Portsmouth, Sunderland 6 Sergio Agüero 184 Manchester City 7 Frank Lampard 177 West Ham United, Chelsea, Manchester City 8 Thierry Henry 175 Arsenal 9 Robbie Fowler 163 Liverpool, Leeds United, Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers 10 Jermain Defoe 162 West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Portsmouth, Sunderland, Bournemouth Top 10 All-Time Premier League Goalscorers Kane is second on the list and needs 47 goals to break the record, and that continues to lead to speculation about the possibility of the forward making a return to the Premier League.
He was asked whether a return was on the cards following his Ballon d'Or triumph, and while the England captain did not rule out the possibility, he insisted it is not something he is thinking about right now. He said: "Not at the moment, not right now.
Bayern are such a great club. We have an amazing team, a great coach [Vincent Kompany].
So yeah, right now that's where my focus is, and I'm extremely happy, and to be winning awards like this just shows why I made the move in the first place." Tottenham fans will watch Harry Kane's next move closely The Englishman's Bayern Munich contract is set to expire next summer and, based on his latest comments, it does seem as though he will be extending his stay there. But despite being 33, Kane's goal is to continue playing at the highest level, and he has now set his focus on winning silverware with his country, England.
He added: "There's always ambition, there's always dreams for new achievements, new things."
