VfB Stuttgart star Deniz Undav knows which Bayern Munich player he’s backing for Ballon d’Or

Two FC Bayern stars could be in contention for the Ballon d’Or.

VfB Stuttgart star and German international Deniz Undav had quite a season.

The 29-year-old attacker registered 25 goals and 14 assists in 46 games across all competitions for Die Schwaben and has likely earned himself a raise and a contract extension from VfB Stuttgart.

VfB Stuttgart lost the DFB-Pokal finale 3-0 to Bayern Munich and afterward Undav was asked who he thought would be the favorite to win the Ballon d’Or. Undav had a Bayern Munich players on his mind, but maybe not the one you might think.

“I’m more inclined towards (Michael) Olise. I mean both (Olise, Harry Kane) would deserve it, but I’m more for Olise,” Undav said.

The race between Kane and Olise is a fun, theoretical exercise, but the World Cup could play a big role in who wins the trophy. With both England (Kane) and France (Olise) as some of the favorites to win the World Cup, both players have a chance to be in position to make their case for the award.
