Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland has won the 2020 Golden Boy award after a stellar first year with the Bundesliga club.
Haaland beat Barcelona teenager Ansu Fati (2nd) and Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies (3rd) to the award, while Borussia Dortmund team-mate Jadon Sancho and Rennes prospect Eduardo Camavinga rounded off the top five.
Manchester City’s Phil Foden, Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood, Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi were all named on the initial 20-man shortlist.
Haaland scored 44 goals in all competitions in 2019/20, with 16 of those coming for Dortmund after a mid-season move from Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg.
