French pundit, Walid Acherchour, has claimed that Barcelona winger, Lamine Yamal, wants to take Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane and Paris Saint-Germain players out of the Ballon d’Or debate.
According to him, the Spain international is deliberately influencing the Ballon d’Or conversation by turning it into a direct challenge with Real Madrid attacker, Kylian Mbappe.
Yamal is among 30 players, including Kane, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who were shortlisted for the Ballon d’Or.
“Lamine Yamal has understood everything. He wants to make the Ballon d’Or debate about him and Kylian Mbappe,” Acherchour said, as quoted by The Touchline.
“He wants to take the PSG players and Harry Kane out of the debate because he’s thinking: ‘If it’s me against Mbappe, I’m going to win the Ballon d’Or.’”
