Chelsea boss Antonio Conte believes PSG star Neymar deserves to be considered for this year's Ballon d'Or.

Conte was asked for his opinion on the Ballon d'Or nominees.

He said, "Neymar, Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo for the Ballon d'Or? I do not know. But we are talking about three top players.

"Maybe in the last few years they are still the same, fighting for this prize. Once Ronaldo, another Messi ... for Neymar it could be the first time because he never won the Ballon d'Or.

"But it is very difficult to choose only one. We are talking about three fantastic players."
