There are more calls suggesting a href=http://www.goal.com/en/people/netherlands/2255/wesley-sneijderWesley Sneijder/a deserves to win the Ballon D'Or asa href=http://www.goal.com/en/people/brazil/22280/coutinhoPhilippe Coutinho/a backs the a href=http://www.goal.com/en/teams/italy/2/internazionale-newsInter/a playmaker.

Sneijder is among the favourites to scoop the 2010 award and Coutinho has given reasons to back his claim.

I inspire myself to Sneijder and he will win the Ballon D'Or, Coutinho told emIl Corriere dello Sport./em

He deserves it without a doubt. He was extraordinary in the Champions League.

Coutinho has been in hot form, and his objectives are to continue establishing his grandeur at the club.

I had my best game against Sampdoria, but I can still grow and become better, he added.

I hoped to have scored, but I didn't. It will come though.

My objective is to help the team to win.

Meanwhile emLa Gazzetta dello Sport /emclaims Sneijder should sign a new deal at the club within the next week.

He will pen a 2015 extension and earn around €5 million per annum. That is likely to end speculation he was close to Manchester United.
