Six years after the award took place, we take a look at the top 10 from the 2020 Golden Boy award.
Having been won by a number of today's biggest stars, the Golden Boy award - created by Italian sports newspaper Tuttosport in 2003 - celebrates the top young players globally.
In order to win the award, players must be under 21, with big names such as Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney and Kylian Mbappé previous winners.
The current holder of the Golden Boy award is Paris Saint-Germain winger Desire Doue, who was given the prestigious honour for 2025.
The top 10 from 2020 includes a some of the best players playing right now, but also includes a number of players who have failed to live up to their earlier hype.
Manchester City's Erling Haaland tops the list and is arguably the biggest success, with the Norweigian striker having led his nation to an unlikely World Cup quarter final in 2026.
Former Barcelona wonderkid Ansu Fati was the runner up, with the winger failing to reach his potential so far, followed by Alphonso Davies, who has had an injury hit career to date.
Free agent Jadon Sancho, most recently of Aston Villa, has had a tumultuous career since leaving Borussia Dortmund, but earned his place in fourth due to an exceptional season in Germany.
Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga rounds off the top five, with the French midfielder yet to establish himself as a first team regular at Los Blancos.
Dejan Kulusevski, who finished sixth in 2020, looked to be reaching his potential at Tottenham Hotspur, but a severe injury suffered almost two years ago still has him out of action.
The second Manchester City player on this list, Phil Foden has had a successful career with the Citizens so far, while Dominik Szoboszlai has grown into a vital player for Liverpool.
Bukayo Saka, who recently helped Arsenal to their first league title in over two decades, finished ninth in 2020, just ahead of Real Madrid's Brazilian star Vinicius Jr.
