Yet it's only 17-year-old Milan goalie Donnarumma who has received more votes than Dembele. Almost 29,000 votes have been cast on Italian website tuttosport.com - who drive the award - and Donnarumma is currently in the lead with 2,546 votes (9% of the total).
Dembele is in second with 2,363 votes (8%) while Rashford sits in third with 2204 votes (also 8%).
