Roma star Under tipped to win Ballon d'Or before 2023

An Italian bookmaker is offering odds of 50-1 for rising Roma star Cengiz Under to win the Ballon d'Or in the next five years.

Sisal Matchpoint has launched the special in the wake of the 20-year-old's spectacular performances since the turn of the year.

Under has been Roma's standout performer in recent weeks and scored his first Champions League goal on debut in the competition during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk.

Under, who joined from Istanbul Basaksehir for €13.4million last July, has been compared to former Roma star Vincenzo Montella by head coach Eusebio Di Francesco.
