In my opinion, with the performance of Dembele for PSG last season and in the Super Cup, Dembele is the frontrunner and the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or Award, but if the Ballon d'Or Award is given to another player, I will not be surprised because it isn't the first time the Ballon d'Or Award has been given to a player that doesn't deserve to win the award.
Dembele has done a lot to deserve a chance at the Ballon d'Or awards actually, even if they were to consider his recent performances inclusive, he has been of so much value to PSG and has achieved a lot within the period with which the Ballon D'or is to be awarded. We have other top contenders who are on that list but if dembele eventually win, I will consider it as very much deserving he has put in the work throughout last season and the season is just starting and he still looks like he is still into it.
I don’t know if there are other requirements to win the Ballon D’Or, if it will be based on last season’s success in his team and individually, he deserves it more than any other player in the list. He has helped his team to win the League1 title, and any other domestic cup in France, he also help them o win the Champions League, reached the FIGA club world cup’s final and now won the UEFA Super Cup, he deserve the award it they want to bring back the credibility of the award because it Halliru has been abused several times when the only give players they wants.
Lamont Yamal is a player that also come close in the list, but his team Barcelona only won two trophies which are the Spanish Lailiga and the Cupa Del Rey trophy, although they reached the Champions League final but couldn’t eliminate Inter Milan; therefore, Dembele should be our next Ballon D’or winner after Rodri.
