Paris Saint-Germain forward, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, has tipped team mate Ousmane Dembélé to win this year’s Ballon d’Or.
Both players have made the 30-man nominees’ shortlist for the award.
But Kvaratskhelia believes Dembélé should retain the prize this year for how he leads the PSG team.
He said: “I’d vote for Ousmane Dembélé as Ballon d’Or, again.
“He’s incredible for how he leads the team.”
Dembélé won the Ballon d’Or ahead of Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal last year.
He is the running to win it again after lifting the LaLiga and Champions League trophies with PSG.
