Ghana and Nordsjaelland midfielder Mohammed Kudus faces competition from the likes of Erlind Haaland and Jadon Sancho after being included in the 100-man shortlist for the prestigious 2020 Golden Boy Award.
The list also includes Chelsea youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi and Manchester City star Phil Foden.
The Ghana international made the cut after his impressive displays in the Danish Superliga.
Italian newspaper Tuttosport came up with the award in 2003 to reward the best young player (under the age of 21) in Europe.
Dutchman Rafael van der Vaart was the first winner 17 years ago and the former Tottenham Hotspur man was followed by Wayne Rooney, Lionel Messi, Cesc Fabregas and Sergio Aguero.
In recent times, Paul Pogba, Raheem Sterling, Kylian Mbappe and Matheus de Ligt have all won the award.
Kudus, 19, has scored nine league goals in 22 appearances and has been linked with big move in the summer.
The Right to Dream Academy graduate is reported to be on the list of English Premier League giants Liverpool and Everton.
He is also wanted by Turkish side Galatasaray.
