Reports: Daniel Maldini makes 100-man shortlist for prestigious Golden Boy award | OneFootball

AC Milan playmaker Daniel Maldini has made the shortlist for the Golden Boy Award 2021 as the only Rossoneri player, it has been confirmed.

The Golden Boy is an award that is given by sports journalists to a young player playing in Europe perceived to have been the most impressive during a calendar year, but those nominated must be under the age of 21 and must play in the top flight.

According to what is being reported by MilanNews24 among other sources, Daniel Maldini is on the list for the Golden Boy Award 2021 along with other prized young talents such as Eduardo Camavinga, Pedri and many others.

Maldini is the only player from Milan that has been chosen, and it would be safe to presume he has been selected off the back of scoring his first goal for the club during the win over Spezia recently, and the playing time he has enjoyed over the last few months.
