The nominations for this year's Golden Boy award have been announced, with 20 of football's brightest starlets battling it out to win the prestigious trophy.
The award was started in 2003 by Italian newspaper Tuttosport, with experts from across Europe now voting to name the continent's best young player. All the nominees must be playing in one of the top tiers of a European league system and be under the age of 21.
Barcelona star Pedri won last year's award, with the 19-year-old again nominated this year, alongside two of his team-mates. While he remains a starter for Barca, Pedri's chances may be hit by the fact he has spent much of the year on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.
