Former Italian international Antonio Cassano is a big fan of Charles De Ketelaere. The ex-professional believes that the Belgian is having such a great season that he could be a future contender for the Ballon d’Or.
Charles De Ketelaere impresses Antonio Cassano
“De Ketelaere is one of the best players in Serie A and one of the best in the world. Kudos to him, Atalanta, and their brilliant coach Gasperini. I think in the coming years he is destined to move to a top team, where he can aim for the Ballon d’Or,” Cassano said on the Viva El Futbol podcast.
“The only player I can currently rank above De Ketelaere is Mo Salah, who is 32 years old,” continued the 42-year-old former player. “Maybe only Lamine Yamal from Barcelona is also ahead of him, but if Barça were to sell him, who would they get? De Ketelaere. For me, he is one of the best in the world.”
