The awards, created by Italian newspaper Tuttosport, are given to the best under-21 footballers each year - Lamine Yamal and Vicky Lopez are the current holders for the respective prizes.

MLS and Ethan are two of 25 nominees up for the award, with both being highlighted for their roles in our run to the Champions League semi-final last season.

Myles played 39 times across all competitions last season, starting in our famous wins over Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, while Ethan netted nine times in 24/25, including in a 5-1 win over Manchester City.

As for Michelle, who is back on loan at Brighton after enjoying a fine campaign with the Seagulls in 24/25, was a shining light at Euro 2025 for England.

The forward provided a host of crucial goals on the Lionesses' run to retaining the continental trophy, netting against Sweden and Italy in the knockout rounds. She was also awarded Best Young Player at the tournament in Switzerland.

A poll of 50 selected sports journalists from across Europe will decide the winners of each award, with announcements of the winners to come in November.
