With the award being given out soon, players will be asked who should win the honor. The latest footballer to get this question is Inter Milan standout Lautaro Martinez. Moreover, the Argentine isn’t going with Dembélé or Yamal as he’s going with a veteran player from the Premier League.
“Many had a great season, winning numerous titles. Paris has quite a few nominees (nine), and one of them could take it—Hakimi, Dembélé… Otherwise, I really like Mohamed Salah,” Martinez told L’Equipe and France Football (h/t Le10Sport).
“But it depends on how everything is evaluated, because he had an excellent season in the Premier League, which he won, and he’s really an interesting player.”
