Italian newspaper Tuttosport has revealed the nominations for the coveted Golden Boy award.

Founded in 2003, 40 footballers under the age of 21 and registered in Europe are included in a vote which asks members of the public to pick their winner.

Past winners include the likes of Paul Pogba, Sergio Aguero, Lionel Messi and the previous year’s winner Anthony Martial.

The Premier League have nine representatives including the likes of Dele Alli, Alex Iwobi and Marcus Rashford.


England’s best youngsters face stiff competition, however. Real Madrid have Marco Asensio involved but Bayern Munich duo Kingsley Coman and Euro 2016 winner Renato Sanches will surely lead the way in the bookies favourites.
