Golden Boy 2018 award nominees: Tuttosport reveal extensive list - but there are some startling omissions
Stars like Juventus' Moise Kean, Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior and Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon have been overlooked
A long list of Golden Boy 2018 award nominees have been announced by Tuttosport, and there are some big omissions, despite an abundance of players named.
Superstars like Juventus youngster Moise Kean, who made history in becoming the first player born in 2000 to feature in Serie A back in 2016, Real Madrid wonderkid Vinicius Junior, who cost the La Liga giants £39.6million at the age of 16, and Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon, who was named Championship Player of the Season last year, have all been overlooked.
