Kane was awarded football's highest individual honour last month, becoming the first Englishman to win the award since Michael Owen in 2001.
Ngumoha, who was called up to the England squad for this week's Nations League games against Croatia and Spain, said Kane was an inspiration.
"Harry Kane winning the Ballon d'Or is definitely a big thing," the 18-year-old told British media.
