The Dutchman is joined on the list by Nigeria international Samuel Chukwueze, who is arguably Africa's strongest competitor after excelling with his club Villarreal and the Super Eagles in 2019. 

Real Madrid are represented by two nominees in the form of the Brazilian pairing of Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Junior, who are both considered outside contenders for the award, while reigning Premier League champions Manchester City boast Phil Foden among the top 40.
