When asked about the award and who he'd like to see win it he first joked that he would vote for himself.

He then proceeded to admit that he would vote for De Bruyne.
“I believe I’d vote for Kevin de Bruyne for everything he’s been doing and for the beautiful football he’s been showing in recent years.
"For those who like football, it’s great to see him play because he understands football, he is a player with above-average intelligence.”
But now it appears that he could have changed his mind and cast his vote for his midfield partner Kante.
