Matthijs de Ligt received an important recognition.
In the survey organized by the famous Italian publication "Tuttosport", the 19-year-old Dutchman was awarded the "Golden Boy" award.
The representative of Amsterdam's "Ajax" surpassed other European U-21 age talents: Justin Kluivert, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Patrick Cutrone, and Vinicius Junior.
Last year, Paris Saint-Germain sniper Kylian Mbappe triumphed in the elections.
M. de Ligt became the second Dutchman to win this award - in 2003, Rafael van der Vaart claimed victory.
