MY WIFE EAGER TO KNOW BALLON D’OR RESULT, SAYS KANE

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has revealed that waiting for the Ballon d’Or result is making his family nervous, with his wife particularly eager to know whether he has won.

The England captain is among the leading contenders for the award ahead of the ceremony on Monday, October 26, in London.

Kane admitted that knowing the outcome beforehand would ease the tension for those closest to him. However, he understands why organisers prefer to keep the result secret until the announcement.

According to the striker, the suspense encourages leading players to attend and gives viewers another reason to watch.

Despite the excitement surrounding his chances, Kane said he had not been told the result and was trying to avoid getting caught up in rumours.

He explained that his approach was to enjoy the occasion with his family, although putting the award out of his mind had proved difficult.

Winning the Ballon d’Or would represent a major personal achievement for Kane, who faces competition from other leading players, including Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal and Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé.

For now, the Bayern forward and his family must share the same nervous wait as supporters until the winner is revealed.
