(Reuters) - Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has won the 2024 Golden Boy award, capping a year in which he helped Spain win Euro 2024, and at 17 years and four months is the youngest-ever winner of the prize, Italian sports newspaper Tuttosport reported on Wednesday.
The award recognises players under the age of 21 playing in Europe, and Yamal was chosen ahead of Real Madrid's Arda Guler and Paris St Germain's Warren Zaire-Emery.
