Top 6 contenders that can win the Golden Boy Award

#4 Dejan Kulusevski (Juventus)

Scoring 10 goals and assisting nine times is impressive for a 20-year old midfielder by all accounts. But more so when you consider he managed these figures despite playing for a side that finished in the bottom half of the table.

Besides, Kulusevski also garnered attention for his creative brilliance, crossing ability, incisive through balls, and incredible versatility. Having already played across numerous positions in the midfield as well as the attack in his relatively short career.

His promising all-round showings earned him Serie A’s best young player award for the 2019/20 season, but more importantly, a big-money move to Juventus. Hopefully, where the Swede will be hoping to continue his development into a world-class talent.

#3 Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund)

The breakout star of last season, Haaland made waves after his blistering exploits with RB Salzburg in the Champions League. Netting eight times in the group stages, including an opening game hat-trick against Genk.

The young Norwegian assassin, who also proved to be a thorn in the flesh of Liverpool and Napoli, was soon pillaged by Dortmund in the winter transfer window. He continued in the same vein, netting 16 times from only 18 games.

A ruthless finisher blessed with tremendous pace and vision, Haaland’s runs in behind defenders almost always sees him in ideal positions to score. His predatory instincts let him pounce on even the slightest opening in the opposition defense.

The 20-year old is already heralded as one of the best young players in the world. His prolific scoring ability will be instrumental to Dortmund’s title hopes in the upcoming season.
