Three Man City prospects, Kayky, Liam Delap and Romeo Lavia have featured in Goal.com's NXGN award.
The list of 50 youngsters is handpicked by their network of journalists compiling a list of the best players under 19. Belgian youngster Romeo Lavia snook into the top 20 of the accolade which was won by Borussia Dortmund and England international Jude Bellingham.
Delap has made three senior appearances this season with one apiece across the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. He missed City's win over Wycombe - that saw a number of debuts for the Blues academy - through injury.

The Blues have enjoyed a flourishing youth system in recent seasons and continue to see the next star emerge following in the footsteps of Phil Foden, #05 in the 2019 NXGN standings, Cole Palmer and James McAtee. Brazilian wonderkid Kayky, who has scored four goals in 14 Premier League 2 appearances this season, finished in the top 25.
Delap registered two places lower in 23rd. Lavia, a Belgian U19 international made it into the final 20, and this season has made his senior bow in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup as well as being an unused substitute in the Premier League and Champions League.
Premier League starlets such as Hannibal Mejbri of Manchester United and Liverpool's Harvey Elliott feature in the list. Previous winners of the accolade have gone on to win English and European honours with Leicester's Youri Tielemans snapping up the first-ever NXGN award in 2015-16 with Gianluigi Donnarumma winning the next instalment.
