Jude Bellingham has named the three players that he thinks could win the Golden Boy award in the future.
Last month, it was announced that Bellingham is the winner of the Golden Boy award for 2023.
The Englishman joins the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi to have gotten their hands on the prestigious award.
During the summer transfer window, Bellingham left German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund for Real Madrid and has been in scintillating form so far in the 23/24 season.

Ahead of Monday’s Golden Boy ceremony, Bellingham has picked out three players who he thinks can win the award in the future.
He told Tuttosport: “I will say three names. First of all, Arda Güler, is a phenomenon, we see him training and we are delighted with him.
“Then my former teammate Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, from Borussia Dortmund. And finally, my brother Jobe.”
On winning the award, Bellingham said: “I want to thank my Real Madrid teammates and the entire squad, Mr. Ancelotti, the president, my family, my mother Denise, my father Mark, my younger brother Jobe, the friends who have bombarded me and pleasantly flooded me, with messages of congratulations and who continue to do so.
“Without all these people, without their help on and off the field, their constant encouragement and without ever forgetting the fans that support me, I would not have been able to win the Golden Boy.”
Despite his fantastic start to his Madrid career, Bellingham has admitted that manager Carlo Ancelotti is still disappointed with one aspect.
He said: “I know that I am disappointing him [Ancelotti] in one aspect... I still don't speak Spanish. I'm sorry, but I'm encountering unexpected obstacles with this language.
“It's difficult for me, I admit it. In any case, I promise the maximum commitment, guaranteed.”
