Against all odds, Spanish midfielder Rodri is expected to take the prize from Vinicius Jr, who led the running almost up until the end.

As a result, Real Madrid have cancelled plans to go to the ceremony in Paris. Rodri will become the first Premier League player to lift the gong since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008.

Six English players have been nominated in the form of Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer and Declan Rice. The last player from these shores to have lifted the orb was Michael Owen, way back in 2001.

Meanwhile, four Premier League clubs are represented in the form of Arsenal, Manchester City (four players each), Chelsea and Aston Villa (one player each).
