Kylian Mbappe and Christian Pulisic are the headline names on a 100-player list for the 2018 Golden Boy, published by the award's founders Tuttosport.
Paris Saint-Germain forward Mbappe is the clear front-runner to become the first player to retain the award -- given to the best player under the age of 21 in Europe -- he won in 2017, having scored three goals on France's run to the World Cup quarterfinals and produced a spectacular performance to eliminate Lionel Messi's Argentina in a seven-goal thriller in Kazan on Saturday.
United States international Pulisic was denied the opportunity to compete at the World Cup but enjoyed a strong season with Borussia Dortmund, establishing himself as a regular starter in the Bundesliga and registering four goals and five assists in 32 appearances.
