Mason Mount has been included in the 20-man shortlist for the 2019 Golden Boy award.
The Chelsea and England star is in esteemed company, with Joao Felix and Matthijs De Ligt the favourites to win the award.
The award, for the best player aged under-21, was won by De Ligt last year before his move from Ajax to Juventus.
Arsenal's Matteo Guendouzi and Manchester City's Phil Foden are in, while Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho also makes the cut.
The winner will be announced on December 16 in Turin.
Who do you think should win the award?
