At the London ceremony where the Ballon d'Or was awarded, Kerim Alajbegovic was the only Juventus player nominated for any of the awards. The Bosnian, born in 2007, made the Kopa Trophy shortlist for the best young player and finished seventh. The final standings were: 1. Yamal, 2. Cubarsi, 3. Zaire-Emery, 4. Lennart Karl, 5. Yan Diomande, 6. Ayyoub Bouaddi, 7. Kerim Alajbegovic, 8. Junior Kroupi, 9. Ibrahim Maza, 10. Johan Manzambi. Juventus secured his signature in the summer after beating competition from Arsenal, thanks in part to help from Miralem Pjanic.
