As usual, the race for this prestigious individual award is quite fierce, with last year’s winner being Lamine Yamal, a forward for Barcelona and Spain, who was just 17 at the time.
Yamal is once again in contention for the trophy, featured among the 100 nominated players.
Notable contenders include Real Madrid’s Endrick, his recent teammate Dean Huijsen, who joined from Bournemouth, and Desire Doue from Champions League champions Paris Saint-Germain.
