Arda Güler, nominated for ‘Golden Child’

This year’s list of the 100 candidates for the ‘Golden Boy’ award, organized by Tuttosport, one of the most important sports newspapers in Italy, since 2003 and awarded to the best young footballers under 21 running the ball in Europe, is located in the Galleria d “O in Milan. It was announced at the ceremony held in ‘Italia’.

Consequently, Fenerbahce football player Arda Güler, who recently drew attention with his ascending form chart, was ranked 78th on the shortlist. Arda Güler is the only Turkish player on the list.

The German Jamal Musiala, who played for Bayern Munich, headed the list of candidates for the Golden Boy. While there were 14 players on the shortlist, the majority of the players from France were Red Bull Salzburg with 5 players.

“WE MUST SAY THAT HE IS AN EXCEPTIONAL PLAYER”

Making assessments at the ceremony, Tuttosport editor-in-chief Guido Vaciago, when asked about Arda Güler’s place on this year’s roster, said: “To talk about Arda Güler, we have to say that he is an extraordinary player. for those who know him. . “Maybe we’ll get to know him better as he moves up the Golden Boy ranks, or maybe when he plays for a team in Europe.”

Stating that this year’s shortlist is an interesting shortlist, Vaciago said, “How will ranking play out on this shortlist? Like the ATP rankings in tennis, the rankings of the players on the shortlist will change. There will be a list where the ranking of 100 names will constantly change based on their performance on the field. Then, the names of the finalists will be determined by our jury. We’ll see if Arda Güler wins the Golden Boy award, which we’ll award in December, or if Arda will be among the players who got on the podium on another occasion. The list of candidates will be updated every month.

“YOU CAN EXPLORE IN MILAN OR ROME”

Recalling that the name of Arda Güler is among the players who will be traded frequently in the recent period, and asked if there is any information that has come to him on this subject, Vaciago gave the following answer:

“We know that Roma and Milan are very interested in Arda Güler, according to Tuttosport transfer market experts. In recent years, Milan has been a team that has known how to hunt down young talents and lead them to success, especially when they were not yet very famous. Consider, for example, Rafael Leao. Leo was one of them. Although he was not a player that anyone knew very well, he is now one of the best in Europe. Although his roles on the pitch are slightly different, who knows if Güler won’t be the new Leao? He could have a blast in Milan or Rome”.

The Golden Boy Award winner is expected to be announced at a ceremony in December.

Last year, this award went to Gavi, who played in Barcelona for the last time. (AA)
