Last year's winner Kylian Mbappe missed out on the final 5 nominees for the Golden Boy award.
Liverpool wing-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior, Milan striker Patrick Cutrone, Roma winger Justin Kluivert and Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt are the top five contenders for the Golden Boy Award.
The trophy is given out every year to the young player most likely to blossom going forward, with previous winners including Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappé.
It is organised by Tuttosport, but decided by a panel of journalists all over the world and will be announced on December 17 in Turin’s iconic Mole Antonelliana.
There is also a public vote for a different people’s award.
