The award, dished out by Italian newspaper Tuttosport, goes to the best under-21 player in European football.
Previous winners include Wayne Rooney, Raheem Sterling, and last year, Anthony Martial.
The Premier League is pretty well represented this time around too. Man City pair Kelechi Iheanacho and Leroy Sane make the cut alongside the previously mentioned Marcus Rashford, Dele Alli and Alex Iwobi; as do Leicester's Demarai Gray, Ruben Loftus-Cheek of Chelsea and new Liverpool signing Marko Grujic. Shout out to Celtic's Moussa Dembele as well!
