Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has backed Bukayo Saka to win the Ballon d’Or in the future.
The Italy international described Saka as a world-class player, adding that he wants to see him win the Ballon d’Or.
Speaking on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Manchester United on Wednesday, Jorginho said about the England international:
“Unbelievable… world class. I said to him, ‘I want to see you win the Ballon d’Or’.”
He added, “I believe so [Saka capable of winning the Ballon d’Or]. I hope he believes in himself as well.”
Saka finished in the 21st position in the 2024 Ballon d’Or power rankings.
The 23-year-old has established himself as one of the most feared attacking players in Premier League football since breaking into Arsenal’s first team in 2018.
