The France forward Kylian Mbappé has won the Golden Boy award for the best young player in Europe, fending off competition from Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus and Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembélé.
The 18-year-old came to prominence last season, scoring six Champions League goals to propel Monaco to the semi-finals while playing a huge part in the club’s title-winning Ligue 1 season, scoring 15 goals from an often wide berth. Mbappé is now on loan at PSG, where he has scored four goals and made four assists in 11 games. He will make the move permanent in a £166m transfer next summer.
The teenager won by an overwhelming 291 votes, with Dembélé coming second on 149. Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus finished third with Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford fourth.
The award, run by Tuttosport, is in its 15th year and previous winners have included Wayne Rooney, Mario Balotelli, Raheem Sterling and Anthony Martial.
