Tottenham striker Harry Kane: 10th in Ballon d'Or? I want to win it

Tottenham striker Harry Kane isn't bothered by his ranking in the Ballon d'Or vote.

Kane finished tenth in this year's poll.

His brace against Stoke took his tally during a stunning 2017 to 50 in all competitions and left him just three short of Alan Shearer's Premier League record for a calendar year of 36 goals with four games still to go.

Kane said: “It's great to get to 50. There are a few more games left so hopefully I can get a few more, but then 2018 is time to improve and get better and hopefully do more and win more as well."

On his Ballon d'Or ranking, Kane said: “It's 10th, not first at the end of the day. My aim is always to try and win competitions and win the Ballon d'Or.

“It will take winning trophies with your club. Premier Leagues, FA Cups, Champions Leagues, that's the only way to get better and progress.

“We are quite a way behind in the league this year, but are still in three competitions and have to fight and see what happens come the end of the season."
