All nominees must be under the age of 21 and play in a European nation's top tier.

And 14 players from the English top flight have a chance of winning after being nominated for the award, which was won by Bayern Munich and Portugal starlet Renato Sanches last year.

Manchester City alone have four players on the list while players from Tottenham, Liverpool, Everton, Sunderland, Chelsea, Stoke and West Brom also have representatives.

Raheem Sterling was the last Premier league player to win the prize, back in 2014.

Monaco forward Kylian Mbappe has been earmarked as an early favourite to take home the trophy with the 18-year-old having scored 21 goals in 34 appearances so far this season.

The most recent of those came in the form of a brace in the 3-2 Champions League first leg victory at Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night.
