Gavi ended up making 57 appearances for club and country last season in all competitions, breaking a number of records along the way.
The teenager became Spain’s youngest player ever to debut for the national team and La Roja’s youngest goalscorer with a strike against the Czech Republic.
Gavi is also the second youngest player ever to feature in a Clasico and the youngest to ever start a game against Real Madrid.
The winner of the award will be announced in October at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris.
