Bellingham also won the Kopa Trophy for the world’s best player aged under 21 at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris last month.
Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham won the Golden Boy award for 2023. He has impressed with his goal-scoring ability since his move from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
The 20-year-old has become the third English player to secure the award after Wayne Rooney in 2004 and Raheem Sterling in 2014. Barcelona duo Pedri and Gavi were handed the award in the last two years.
Bellingham said in a short video message, “Now I have this beautiful award I will strive for more.”
“I want to keep pushing the limits of my potential and hopefully many more trophies to come. I’d like to thank everyone who has been part of my journey so far at Birmingham [City], [Borussia] Dortmund and now Madrid. It wouldn’t be possible without them.
“Lastly and most importantly my family who give me the support and motivation and love every day to keep striving.”
Bellingham also won the Kopa Trophy for the world’s best player aged under 21 at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris last month.
The Englishman is in great form for the Los Blancos this season, scoring 13 goals and registering three assists in 14 appearances in all competitions.
