Paris Saint-Germain forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has backed his teammate Ousmane Dembélé to win the Ballon d’Or again this year.
Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé are both among the 30 players shortlisted for the prestigious award.
However, the Georgia international believes Dembélé deserves to retain the prize because of the way he has led PSG.
He said: “I’d vote for Ousmane Dembélé as Ballon d’Or, again.
“He’s incredible for how he leads the team.”
Dembélé won last year’s Ballon d’Or, finishing ahead of Barcelona star Lamine Yamal.
The PSG forward is now in contention to claim the award for a second straight year after helping the club win both the LaLiga and Champions League trophies.
