The three names are:
1. Ademola Lookman.
2. Victor Boniface.
3. Brahim Diaz.
I don’t know what Diaz is doing on the list. He is not a starter for Real Madrid. Diaz may have won the Champions League with Real Madrid but he didn’t play much in the tournament or had any stellar performances in the UCL. We all know the winner is Ademola Lookman.
I also did not see any impact Brahim Diaz make in his team to qualify him for a slot in the shortlist because if anything, the last time he scored for his country was in their game against Gabon where they won 4-1 on the 6th of last month where he scored the third goal and since then he went silent. It's probably the Real Madrid influence that is putting him there and I'm glad that the other two nominees have something to their names as well and had more impact in not just their clubs but countries as well and maybe Diaz was just put there just to complete numbers.
