The 2026 Ballon d’Or winner will be Lamine Yamal, according to Arsenal custodian David Raya.
The winner will be presented with this year’s prize on Monday, October 26.
Along with other prominent figures such as Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, and Rodri, Yamal is among the front-runners for the award.
Last year, Yamal had a “incredible” season, winning the LaLiga title and the World Cup trophy. Raya believes he deserves it.
