Mason Greenwood, Gabriel Martinelli and Billy Gilmour lead a list of 22 Premier League kids in the Golden Boy top 100 young stars in Europe... but can any of them challenge Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland?

Mason Greenwood, Billy Gilmour and a host of other Premier League names have been nominated for the prestigious European Golden Boy award.

The Manchester United and Chelsea starlets will battle it out for the coveted award but face some fierce competition from Borussia Dortmund's star duo Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland, who are the favourites to win the gong.

The 100-strong list was announced on Monday and will be whittled down in the coming months until a winner is announced later this year.
