Golden Boy 2021: the 100 nominated

The race to succeed Erling Haaland (20, Borussia Dortmund) is officially open. Tuttosport has just unveiled the list of 100 nominated for the title of Golden Boy 2021, a trophy rewarding the best player under 21 playing in Europe (elements born after January 1, 2001 are therefore concerned). Every month, this list will be reduced by 20 units and regularly updated to determine, in October, the 20 finalists.

40 journalists from all over Europe will then vote (The team, By Telegraaf, Marca, Bild, Times, In Bola, Sport-Express, Fanatik, Corriere dello Sport, Gazzetta dello Sport, Rai, Mediaset, etc.) to designate the lucky winner. Note that the hope having collected the most votes online on the Tuttosport site will receive the Web Golden Boy 2021 trophy.

France well represented

For the moment, no clear favorite. But five starlets, present at Euro 2020 with their respective selections stand out slightly: Pedri (18 years old, FC Barcelona, ​​Spain), Jamal Musiala (18 years old, Bayern Munich, Germany), Jude Bellingham (17 years old, Borussia Dortmund, England), Ryan Gravenberch (19, Ajax) and Jurriëm Timber (19, Ajax). The French international midfielder Eduardo Camavinga (18 years old, Stade Rennais, France) is considered a serious outsider as are Ilaix Moriba (18 years old, FC Barcelona, ​​Spain), Florian Wirtz (18 years old, Bayer Leverkusen, Germany ), Francisco Conceição (18, FC Porto, Portugal) or Rodrygo (20, Real Madrid, Brazil).

French football is well represented with Lucien Agoumé, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Marley Aké, Adil Aouchiche, Benoît Badiashile, Rayan Cherki, Tanguy Coulibaly, Tanguy Kouassi, Isaac Lihadji, Aïmen Moueffek, Georginio Rutter or even Képhren Thuram and Adrien Truffert. Not to mention the other representatives playing in Ligue 1, such as Luis Henrique, Pietro Pellegri, El Bilal Touré and Xavi Simons. The battle promises to be fierce!
