Harry Kane believes his record breaking goal haul puts him in a strong position for the upcoming Ballon d,Or award.

Harry Kane netted an incredible seventy three goals for Bayern Munich and England during the recent football campaign. That massive total puts him right at the front of the betting market to claim the prestigious individual trophy at the ceremony in London. Punters backing the striker will feel confident given his numbers completely dwarf the tallies of his main rivals in the outright markets.

Market movers for the award

Bookmakers have shortened Harry Kane in the betting odds following his sensational scoring run across all competitions. His closest rival in the market is Kylian Mbappe, who scored fifty goals for Real Madrid during the same period. Lamine Yamal is also feature in the conversation, but the odds reflect the sheer volume of goals Kane produced for club and country.

Harry Kane managed sixty five goals for Bayern Munich alone, helping them secure a domestic double in Germany. That kind of elite scoring form always captures the attention of the voters who decide the winner of the golden ball. Bettors who placed early wagers on the Englishman are now sitting in a very strong position as the voting deadline approaches.

Historic English glory

Only four English players have ever won this specific award in the past, with the most recent coming way back in twenty thousand and one. Harry Kane could soon join that exclusive list of legends if the voters reward his incredible output on the pitch. The Bayern Munich star remains focused on the current season while the market reacts to his historic numbers.

Bookmakers continue to take heavy support for the prolific forward in the winner market. Bettors should monitor any late market shifts before the ceremony takes place in October.
