Arsenal and England midfielder, Declan Rice, has said he prefers Harry Kane to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or.
Rice has made the 30-man nominees’ shortlist for the second year running.
But he is supporting his international team mate Kane to take the award home.
Rice told Sky Sports: “Second year in a row nominated, I’m very proud. You know who I want to win.
“I’d love to see Harry Kane win it. I wish him all the best in that.”
Kane is considered one of the frontrunners for the Ballon d’Or along with Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappe and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The 33-year-old scored 61 goals in 51 matches as Bayern won the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal titles last season.
