Thierry Henry: Harry Kane is a great example of talent and hard work

Harry Kane picked up the first Ballon d'Or of his career at the landmark 70th edition of football's most prestigious awards ceremony. Former Arsenal star Thierry Henry hosted the gala in London. After presenting the trophy, Henry refrained from immediately quizzing the newly crowned winner, instead offering high praise following Kane's emotional acceptance speech.

"I want to say something. Something about Harry Kane—Harry Kane is a great example not just of talent, but of someone who works hard to achieve what he wants to achieve. So congratulations, you truly deserve this award," Henry said.
