Ngumoha Has Ballon d’Or in His Sights After Taking Inspiration from Kane’s Triumph

Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha said Harry Kane's Ballon d'Or victory can inspire a new generation of English footballers, including himself, to follow in the Bayern Munich striker's footsteps and be recognized as the world's best. Kane was awarded football's highest individual honor last month, becoming the first Englishman to win the award since Michael Owen in 2001. Ngumoha, who was called up to the England squad for this week's Nations League games against Croatia and Spain, said Kane was an inspiration.
