Tottenham Hotspur pair Hugo Lloris and Heung-Min Son have been shortlisted for the 2019 Ballon d’Or award.
It’s the first time that Son has made the 30-man shortlist for the prestigious accolade, which recognises the best player in the world.
Club captain Lloris, meanwhile, has made the list for the third time and also takes his place on a 10-man list for the new Yachine Trophy, specifically for goalkeepers.
Striker Harry Kane, nominated last year, was not among the 30-man list which is dominated by Liverpool and Manchester City.
