Having picked up yet another Champions League medal before guiding Croatia to a World Cup final, the bookies make the midfielder clear favourite at 2/5 for the award.

Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, is 5/2 to win a record-breaking sixth Ballon d'Or, while Kylian Mbappe is the only other name priced 10/1 or shorter.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Modric has had the best year of his life and it looks as though things will get even better for Madrid's magician, who looks set to be the first player other than Ronaldo or Messi to win the Ballon d'Or since 2007."
