The prestigious honour caps an incredible year for the midfield talent, who only made his professional debut in November 2015. The former SL Benfica hotshot signed a five-year deal with Bayern towards the the end of the 2015/16 campaign, before playing an integral role in Portugal's UEFA EURO 2016 triumph in France, where he was also voted Best Young Player of the Tournament.
