Liverpool forward Takumi Minamino has been included in a prestigious new shortlist.
Minamino, who was snapped up from Red Bull Salzburg in January for £7.25million, has been named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2020 List.
Described by Forbes as an "annual roster of young entrepreneurs and change makers", the list of leading people under 30 years old who hail from the Asia-Pacific is said to include a "group of relentless individuals disrupting industries and tackling major global issues".
Minamino is the only footballer in a section of 30 sports and entertainment stars.
“This year's Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list-makers inspire optimism in what is promising to be a tough year ahead,” said Rana Wehbe, Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia Editor.
“They are a resilient and energetic bunch who are facing challenges head-on and actively working for a future that matches their aspirations.”
Since arriving at Liverpool, Minamino has made three starts - all in the FA Cup - and has also made three substitute appearances in the Premier League and one in the Champions League.

Number of UCLs is not always representative of success.What is your obsession with it?You measure clubs only by UCL success.If that be the case,then Nottingham Forest are as successful a club as Juve and and more successful a club than Chelsea.
League titles too

Spent all the money on paying organizations and referees,that's why you required a public uproar in order to decide to pay your staff.City have money but principles as well.Something that your corrupt club needs to learn.

He should but he won't...the award will go to one of Liverpool's players.On insta I am seeing people seriously considering if Henderson should win Balon d'or !!!Just because they play for Liverpool they can win any award even if they don't deserve it.People hyping up Henderson so much now that in future people may actually think he was of the class of Gerrard and all.This is mental.People are talking more about Hendo than about KDB,which should not be happening because KDB is way better.And KDB will not win the award no matter how well he does because Liverpool have caused corruption and made separate payments.

Have some manners with ur comments. Don’t talk trash unless u want to fight without logic. henderson is challenger coz of his leadership, playmaking (check passing stats not assists) and also being defensively important. So goals and assists are not the reason he is challenger for player of the year. KDB deserves it this year and he will win it if season resumes.

Credit is not enough...KDB should jave won it and no he won't win it this season as well.Instead they will give it to world-beater Jordan Henderson with 3 goals and 5 assists,because Hendo is million times better than KDB,right?Pig headed bastards.

What do u mean no matter what salah did? 32 goals in 38 matches first season whic was record breaking. Salah and KDB both deserved it but they picked one. Don’t be so salty KDB still got the credit he deserves and maybe this year he might win it if epl resumes

Does not matter what Salah did,KDB should have got the award.Salah played well but KDB deserved it more.This is preferential treatment for traditionally successful clubs.The bias against City is there and it is undeniable.If KDB were playing for Man Utd then he would have got the award.

Don’t be so deluded who could pay money to organizations? Stop ur excuses and face the reality. If salah was man city player and scored 32 goals u wouldn’t say that. Ur just defending ur team player and it’s human nature but u have to admit it was between salah and KDB which salah eventually won. KDB didn’t get that award but he won our hearts coz he is incredible player and if salah wasn’t there or he would scored less goals then it’s KDB for sure.

And KDB's performances will go unnoticed??Even in 13-14,Toure had 20 goals and 9 assists in the Prem.Didn't get the award.Why?How does that performance go unnoticed?There's a tremendous bias against City players,which is why Aguero never gets the award despite being one of the deadliest strikers the Prem has ever seen.

I understand that kdb deserved it as well, but Salah broke the record for most goals scored in a season, this can’t go unnoticed

Now we have to take the Austrian league seriously?Next time you will give Balon d' or to the top scorer in the San Marino first division.Next day you will say Minamino is better than Son.Day after that you will say he is better than Messi.That is how deluded you are.
Check not only the Austrian league but the champions league. He’s been doing bits there as well

Man City spend on players.Liverpool spend on players as well as on organizations so that their players can get awards.How could the 17-18 Player of the Year go to Salah and not KDB when City finished with a 100 points.Liverpool spend lots of money in adopting unfair means.No wonder they had to furlough staff.Cheater club.
