The Premier League contributed ten nominees to the 100-man shortlist, including Anthony Elanga and Amad Diallo of Manchester United.
Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho, both of Liverpool, are among the more interesting names on the Golden Boy 2022 shortlist.
The yearly award honors a top-tier European player under the age of 21 for their achievements over the course of a calendar year.
Traditional English powers Arsenal and Chelsea, on the other hand, were not represented.
Wolves had two players included in the list, including £35 million signing Fabio Silva and Dutch defender Ki-Jana However.
Pape Matar Sarr of Tottenham Hotspur and Yan Couto of Manchester City, who spent last season on loan at Metz and Braga, respectively, were also named.
Kacper Kozlowski, a teenager from Brighton, and Joe Gelhardt, a forward from Leeds, rounded out the English players on the roster.
Pedri, the Barcelona super kid, won the accolade last year following an incredible year for both club and country.
Although Pedri was nominated again, the award is generally given to a new winner each year.
Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund, Eduardo Camavinga of Real Madrid, and Ryan Gravenberch, a new Bayern Munich acquisition from Ajax, are among the favorites for this year’s award.
