For the second successive season, Chelsea children Jorrel Hato and Estêvão have made the ultimate shortlist for the annual Golden Boy Award, which fits to the perfect younger participant (beneath 21) taking part in in one in every of European’s high leagues.
Barcelona have dominated this award in latest seasons, profitable three of 4 (Pedri, Gavi, and Lamine Yamal) earlier than PSG’s Désiré Doué took the honour r. (Gamers can solely win as soon as; after that they’re ineligible.)
Not like the previous couple of years, when the winners appeared apparent, this yr’s contest appears a bit extra vast open. Sadly, in all probability neither Hato nor Estêvão are among the many favorites, although if Estêvão continues on his present trajectory, he might but develop into the primary Chelsea participant to ever win it (he’s received a pair extra years of eligibility left).
