Paris Saint-Germain’s rising star Désiré Doué has been crowned the Golden Boy Award winner for 2025, officially recognised as the world’s best young football talent after a breathtaking 2024/25 campaign. The 19-year-old midfielder received the prestigious trophy following a season that showcased maturity, flair and consistency well beyond his age.
Doué played a pivotal role across all competitions for PSG, racking up an impressive 61 appearances. Operating primarily in advanced midfield areas, he contributed 16 goals and 16 assists, becoming one of the most decisive players in Luis Enrique’s squad. His creativity, ball-carrying ability and composure in the final third helped PSG dominate French football and reclaim European glory.
The teenager’s trophy cabinet grew rapidly over the season, lifting four major titles: the UEFA Champions League, Ligue 1, the Trophée des Champions, and the Coupe de France. His performances in the Champions League especially caught global attention, where his maturity under pressure and ability to dictate play made him one of PSG’s standout performers during their title-winning run.
