Golden Boy 2024 winner revealed

Barcelona and Spain sensation Lamine Yamal has been named as the Golden Boy winner for 2024.

The 17-year-old becomes the fourth Blaugrana youngster to lift the gong after Lionel Messi, Pedri and Gavi.

The award is given to Europe's best under 21 player in a calendar year and is voted for by journalists from Tuttosport, L'Equipe, The Times, A Bola and other leading newspapers across the continent.

Lamine Yamal has enjoyed a genuinely remarkable 12 months, leading his country to EURO 2024 glory as well as becoming a totem of Barcelona's attack under Xavi and new coach Hansi Flick.

The Blaugrana teenager beat the likes of Leny Yoro, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho to the award.
