Liverpool midfielder Fabio Carvalho and Leeds striker Wilfried Gnonto are the only two players currently playing in the Premier League. England international Jude Bellingham has also been nominated.
Gnonto may not be a household name at the moment after only signing with Leeds during the summer transfer window and yet to feature in the Premier League.
Carvalho signed for Fulham this summer and has become a regular for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
Barcelona and Bayern Munich each have three players nominated, including last year’s winner Pedri.
The talent on the roster is ridiculous and even being nominated should be seen as a fantastic achievement for any young player.
