On Thursday, France Football unveiled the list of 10 players nominated for the Kopa Trophy, which recognizes the best young player of the year (the trophy now covers one season rather than one calendar year) and will be awarded on September 22. Here is the complete list, which includes two Paris Saint-Germain players: João Neves (20-year-old midfielder) and Désiré Doué (20-year-old forward/midfielder).
These nominations are undoubtedly deserved for these exceptional players, who had a tremendous season with PSG. Neves has been more consistent, but Doué has had a breathtaking peak. They may be able to win, but the competition is obviously very strong.
