Tottenham striker Harry Kane has been nominated for the 2021 Ballon d'Or. 

The England captain is joined by footballing icons Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, with the latter the Bookmakers' favourite for the award.

Messi carried former club Barcelona on his back last season before ending a 21-year association with the Blaugrana by joining Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.
 

Ronaldo bagged 36 goals and four assists for Juventus last term, and like Messi, joined a new team in the transfer window, re-joining Manchester United after a 13-year hiatus.

 

 Meanwhile, reigning European champions Chelsea have had five players nominated in the form of Mason Mount, N'Golo Kante, Jorginho, Romelu Lukaku and Cesar Azpilicueta.

The Blues clinched the UEFA Champions League trophy in May for the second time in the club's history after defeating Pep Guardiola's Manchester City 1-0 in the final as the aforementioned Mount assisted Kai Havertz on the cusp of half-time.
 

Full Ballon d'Or list: Cesar Azpilicueta, Nicolo Barella, Karim Benzema, Leonard Bonucci, Kevin De Bruyne, Giorgio Chiellini, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ruben Dias, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Bruno Fernandes, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Jorginho, N'Golo Kante, Simon Kjaer, Robert Lewandowski, Romelu Lukaku, Riyad Mahrez, Lautaro Martinez, Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Luka Modric, Gerard Moreno, Mason Mount, Neymar, Pedri, Mohamed Salah, Raheem Sterling, Luis Suarez.
