Real Madrid centre-back Dean Huijsen has been tipped as a strong contender for this year's Golden Boy award after a string of impressive performances since he arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Spanish international, who joined from Bournemouth in the summer, has quickly emerged as a revelation for Los Blancos, cementing his place as a first-team regular under Xabi Alonso.
Softfootball can confirm that in recent years, the Golden Boy awards have been dominated by Barcelona players, who have produced a series of top talents such as Gavi, Pedri and Lamine Yamal.
