Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante is flattered to be nominated for the Ballon d'Or.

The France international, however, believes Real Madrid ace Luka Modric would be a worthy winner.

He said, "I'm nominated among the Ballon d'Or candidates. Who is my favorite? This is a great recognition especially since it is the second year that I figure among the thirty. This is not the most important, but it is the recognition of the work done.

"Otherwise Modric had a good season, but a Frenchman could win. So we will wait for the votes."
