Albion new signing Michal Karbownik is one of the "golden boys" of European football.
That is according to Italian sports newspaper Tuttosport, who have released the final shortlist for their Golden Boy prize.
The annual award has been run by the Turin-based paper since 2003 and is intended to recognise the year’s best under-21 players.
Tuttosport recently cut the list from its initial 60, which was drawn up in August.
As well as Karbownik, the final 40 includes Alphonso Davies, Mason Greenwood, Ansu Fati, Jaydon Sancho, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Vinicius and Erling Braut Haaland.

Karbownik was of interest to Barcelona before the Covid-19 lockdown.
They planned to loan him to Real Betis in the first year of his contract.
He was later reported to be on his way to Napoli.
