Harry Kane feels like he is "taken for granted" as a goalscorer and feels like he has a real chance of winning the next Ballon d'Or.

The striker is England's all-time leading scorer with 69 goals, a tally which he will be looking to add to in the Three Lions' World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia in the next week.

Overall in his career, he has netted 441 goals for club and country, though has come under criticism from some in the German media despite netting 76 goals in 82 appearances in all competitions for Bayern Munich.

This season, he has scored 21 times in 24 Bundesliga appearances to help Bayern stretch their lead at the top of the table to six points, while he has also helped them reach the Champions League quarter-final.

Kane acknowledged that his consistency can work against him as he is expected to score in certain games, especially when it comes to the national side.

"It's like when [Cristiano] Ronaldo and [Lionel] Messi were throwing these crazy numbers out there and the next season, they'd score 40 goals instead of 50. It was like they were having a bad season," Kane said.

"People take it for granted and maybe a little bit with England as well. I've scored 69 goals and when you score against Albania or Latvia, or these teams, people just expect it, so it's not spoken about so much.

"If I was 25 now and doing what I'm doing, the excitement around me would maybe be a little bit different to what it is now. That's part of where we are with football. I've seen it with some other players as they get into their 30s.

"Maybe people just get a little bit bored of what you do, but I'm certainly not bored. I'm excited for these games and the games ahead."

Kane is pushing to add more to his tally this season, as he aims to win the first trophy of his career.

However, he also has his eyes on an individual prize, as he believes his transfer from Tottenham to Bayern in 2023 could open the door for him to win the Ballon d'Or.

Michael Owen was the last English player to get his hands on the accolade in 2001, but Kane thinks the opportunity is there for him to take.

"Just being at a club like Bayern Munich has helped push me on even more, confidence-wise and responsibility-wise," he added.

"I feel like I've definitely got better, I've improved, and maybe the 'aura' of me as a player is a bit more respected than what it has been in the past because you're playing in big games, big nights.

"I felt that last season as well, I scored over 40 goals, but obviously, I was never going to win the Ballon d'Or because we didn't win the team trophies.

"Those opportunities are there. That's probably what I mean in terms of being respected more worldwide, on the bigger stage.

"For something like that, you have to win enough team trophies to be considered in that and probably score 40-odd goals, but that is a possibility this season.

"That is definitely something I would love to try to achieve."
