Inter striker Philippe Coutinho believes Wesley Sneijder deserves the FIFA Ballon d'Or following his stellar season with the club.
Sneijder is among the favourites for the top gong alongside Spain's World Cup hero Andres Iniesta.
But it's the Dutchman who has Coutinho's vote.
"I think Sneijder deserves the Ballon d'Or. I watch him in training and it leaves me stunned. He is a legend," the Brazilian told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.
Coutinho has settled down quickly at the club, much of that is down to fellow countryman Julio Cesar.
"He is like a brother to me," he concluded.
