Golden Boy Award 2023: 10 Premier League Players On The Shortlist

Golden Boy Award 2023: 10 Premier League players are on the shortlist with Liverpool, United, Chelsea, Man City and Brighton all represented.

The award is won by Europe’s best youngster aged under 21 in a calendar year and began in 2003.

Firstly, Liverpool have two of their players on the list; Harvey Elliott and Stefan Bajcetic are on the shortlist for the 2023 Golden Boy Award.

Barcelona always have a representative on the list as they always encourage and field younger players in their team.

Gavi, who has been nominated again for this year’s shortlist, won last year’s award.

Jude Bellingham, who recently joined Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund this summer, will battle Gavi for the crown this year.
