Ballon d'Or title will help keep Kane at Bayern, says Matthaeus

Harry Kane became the first Englishman since Michael Owen in 2001 to win the Ballon d'Or, following a season in which he scored 61 goals in 51 games for Bayern Munich. Former World Cup winner Lothar Matthaeus said the award could help convince Kane to extend his Bayern contract.
