Tottenham Lunchtime Round-Up, Tuesday 27th October 2026: Harry Kane's Ballon D'Or Win Dominates the Headlines

It's all about Harry Kane this lunchtime after the former Spurs striker became the first Englishman in 25 years to win the Ballon d'Or, and he made sure to thank Tottenham Hotspur during his emotional acceptance speech (Football.London). The win sparked plenty of reaction from the club's past and present, with Dele Alli and ten other former Tottenham teammates said to be "close to tears" as they responded to the news (Spurs Web), while Heung-min Son's reaction has also gone down well with the Spurs faithful (Spurs Web). Kane was later spotted celebrating at a nightclub, with Son and other familiar faces from his boyhood club joining him for the party (Football.London). Not everyone was purely celebratory, though, as Jamie Carragher couldn't resist a sly dig at Tottenham while giving his verdict on Kane's triumph (Football.London).

On the pitch, there's been some nice individual recognition following the win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Alan Shearer included a Tottenham duo, with Mateus Fernandes earning Team of the Week honours after a standout showing (Spurs Web). Elsewhere, a young Spurs player rated 9.2/10 by StatMuse has also been praised, with De Zerbi reportedly viewing him as a match-winner following his display at Stamford Bridge (Spurs Web).

Away from matters on the pitch, Spurs Web reports that Ben Davies could be handed more game time and a potential new contract, with the defender's current deal set to expire at the end of the season (Spurs Web).
