Rohr hailed the two players as the best in the world, while ignoring Olise's teammate Harry Kane, believed to be the bookmakers' favourite.

“For the best player in the world, it’s difficult to say. I think these four players, everybody can win it,” he said.

“Personally, it could be fine for Michael Olise to win it, but also Yamal, and one of the two, I think, should win it.”

Rohr also admitted that Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé would have been a contender, but he failed to lift any silverware last season.

“He would deserve it also, because a few times he was there, but it didn’t work out for him to be the winner,” Rohr said.
