The prestigious award was established by Italian sports newspaper Tuttosport in 2003 and is voted on by journalists from across the world.
The 19-year-old Arsenal forward who was born in England to a Zimbabwean father and English mother made it into the list which has the likes of Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kylian Mbappe of PSG.
Mbappe won the price last year after bursting on to the scene with Monaco to help them beat PSG to Ligue 1’s title.
