Favourite to win 2024 Golden Boy award named – it's HIM

No surprises here, the 16-year-old Lamine Yamal is considered the favourite for the 2024 Golden Boy award.

Pau Cubarsi (17), Vitor Roque (19) and Gavi (19) are the other three Barcelona players among those 100 nominated to win the prize.

Here is what the current top 15 looks like, according to Score 90:

Yamal has netted six goals and assisted another eight in 44 appearances for the Catalans, which is pretty impressive for his age.

For those of you who may be wondering why someone like Fermin Lopez, Pedri or, say, Florian Wirtz's name isn't included, we have a simple explanation.

Only players under 21 years of age are eligible to win the accolade. All players who turn 21 in 2024 cannot compete.
