Matteo Guendozi has revealed how proud he is to be nominated for the Golden boy award. An award that recognizes the biggest young footballers in the world.
The Arsenal midfielder is on the 20-man shortlist for the award. He spoke about the quality of his competition on the list and how he has progressed.
“It shows that I’ve been working hard at Arsenal and have also done well at international level,” Guendouzi told Arsenal Player.
“I think it’s a reward for all the hard work that I’ve done at the club and the good displays I’ve produced, but it also reflects my progress in training and how much I’ve come on as a player here.
“It’s a reward for all my hard work and I’m hugely proud to be part of the 20 players under the age of 21 who’ve been nominated for the Golden Boy award – it’s fantastic.
“There are some super players [nominated]. We know there are players like [Matthijs] De Ligt, the Juve defender, and Joao Felix, the Atletico forward.
“There are fantastic players everywhere and it’s a wonderful award for whoever ends up winning it.”
