The 20 year-old football star, who played an essential part in Liverpool FC’s push for the Premier League title last term and which saw the team qualifying for Champions League, beat the likes of Luke Shaw, John Stones, Eric Dier and Calum Chambers to win the award given to the best youngster on the continent.

‘Something I’ve always wanted to do is to work hard playing football and try to be recognised. I’m really grateful that people have shown me this recognition. It’s down to hard work. I’m really happy that people are recognising that I’m trying to work hard and do my best for this football club. I’m really grateful for this award.’
