100 nominations of Golden Boy 2021 have been revealed: Pedri & Bellingham lead.
Here's the whole list:
With the start of the European Championship, it is time for the Golden Boy too. An edition, this 2021, overflowing with talents but which at the moment does not present clear favorites like last year in which the Norwegian panzer Haaland of Borussia Dortmund, the left side Alphonso Davies of Bayern or the darting Hispanic-Guinean Ansu Fati of the Barcelona enjoyed the underdogs since the summer. Like every 15 June, today we publish the list of the top 100 candidates to win our international trophy, now in its 19th edition, reserved for the best Under 21 of the year. Who will be the heir of the blond Erling Haaland, the "golden boy" of 2020? For 2021, players of any nationality are in the running (as long as they are registered for a European club of the top division) born after January 1, 2001. The list of "nominees" will be gradually reduced by 20 units every 15th of the month ( 80 in mid-July, 60 in mid-August, 40 in September) up to the number of 20 finalists on 15 October, which will give rise to the winner who will be awarded in Turin in a gala at the end of autumn.
