From the source

Bayern Munich and France international Dayot Upamecano has become the latest figure to weigh in on who should win this year’s Ballon d’Or, comparing his Les Bleus teammate Kylian Mbappé with his club teammate Harry Kane.

As told to Gianluca DiMarzio (via @iMiaSanMia), Upamecano shared his thoughts when asked which of the two should win the coveted award. Positioned uniquely as a teammate to both world-class forwards, Upamecano refused to pick a definitive favorite, choosing instead to highlight the distinct strengths each player brings to the pitch.

“We all know that Harry can play as a defender, a midfielder and a striker – he can play in every position. For me, it’s an honor to be able to play alongside him.
