Curtis Jones has been nominated for the 2021 European Golden Boy Award joining England internationals Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka on the 100-man shortlist.
The nomination comes after Jones had an excellent season with Liverpool. The 20-year-old scored four and assisted five in 34 appearances last season and was only left out of the matchday squad on three occasions due to injury.
The award, which was founded by Italian newspaper Tuttosport, honours the best player under 21 in Europe's top-tier leagues.
Journalists from publications such as Bild (Germany), A Bola (Portugal) and L'Equipe (France) vote to decide the winner.
The midfielder is named alongside other young stars including Bellingham, Saka, Billy Gilmour, Eduardo Camavinga, Jeremy Doku, Ryan Gravenberch, Mason Greenwood and Amad Traore Diallo.
Raheem Sterling is the only player to have won the award whilst at Anfield but a number of young Reds have made the shortlist in the past including Joe Gomez, Tiago Ilori, Ben Woodburn and Divock Origi.
Neco Williams made the final 40-man shortlist in 2020 but Jones is the only representative from Jurgen Klopp's squad this year after Williams failed to even make the top 100.
Erling Haaland was crowned winner in 2020 and Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Wayne Rooney and Cesc Fabregas have all been winners of the award since it began in 2003.
