The project “Golden Talent” published the results of the referendum to determine the best young Ukrainian football player (U-21) in 2024. Nearly 200 experts (coaches, former famous football players, and specialized journalists) participated in the survey.

As a result, the best young Ukrainian football player in the U-21 age category last year was midfielder Yegor Yarmoluk of the English club Brentford, who scored 250 points. Midfielder Nazar Voloshin from Kyiv’s Dynamo was just a little behind with 230 points. And in third place now is former defender Ilya Krupsky from Poltava’s Vorskla, who recently transferred to Kharkiv's Metalist 1925 with 220 points.
