The Premier League Players Who Have Made The Final 80 Man Shortlist For The 2022 Golden Boy Award

Tuttosport have revealed their 80-man shortlist for this year’s Golden Boy awards and ten players from Premier League teams made the cut.

The prize is handed out by journalists for the most promising young player in Europe, with previous winners including the likes of Erling Haaland, Wayne Rooney and Lionel Messi.


Only one defender (Matthijs de Ligt) has been given the accolade since its inception in 2003, and the top 80 is once again dominated by midfielders and forwards.

Fans can nominate their winner by heading to Tuttosport‘s website, but if you want to find out which starlets from English clubs are on the list, press the next page.
