Jude Bellingham won the 2023 Golden Boy award, given to the best player in Europe under the age of 21, following a sensational start to his time at Real Madrid.
The England midfielder currently tops La Liga's scoring charts with 11 goals, while the 20-year-old has also found the target in all four of the Champions League group stage games he has played this season.
While grateful for the individual accolade that was bestowed on him in Turin, Italy on Monday, Bellingham has his sights set on greater success for club and country: "The goal is to win many trophies with Real Madrid and with England and make sure those two teams are as good as possible."
First awarded in 2003, the Golden Boy has previously been claimed by the likes of Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.
