Eto’o: Mahrez Can Win Ballon d’Or

By Daily Sports on February 20, 2020

Algeria international Riyad Mahrez can win the prestigious Ballon d’Or award according to legendary Cameroon striker Samuel Eto’o.

The Manchester City attacking midfielder has established himself as one of the best attackers in the world having won two English Premier League titles.

Mahrez also won the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title as Algeria captain in Egypt.

“He is one of the great players in world football today,” Eto’o told Al Araby as per Le Buteur.

“We are very likely to have it [Ballon d’Or] in our continent.

Mahrez was ranked at number 10 in last year’s Ballon d’Or rankings with fellow African Sadio Mane of Liverpool FC finishing third.

“I really hope that he will not only dream of being the best African player,” he added.

“But also the Ballon d’Or because he has all the qualities to be there.”

The 28-year-old was named 2016 CAF Footballer of the Year following a successful season with Leicester City. (African Football)
