Wenger names the Arsenal player he wants to win Ballon d'Or


Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted he hopes Mesut Ozil will win the Ballon d'Or award next year.

With Lionel Messi, Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo vying for the 2015 Ballon d'Or accolade tonight, the Frenchman has admitted he would love to see Ozil win the award next year but said he is not a fan of the individual prize.

When asked whether he wanted Ozil to win the award in 2016, Wenger said: "I wish, as I told you I am not a big fan of that [award]. What is important is we are a team sport, and it's not logical to me to just encourage individual effort.

"We live already in a society where it's all about individualism. Coming from a team sport going to that as well is to me a little bit contradictory to what is the route of our sport."
