That Aleksandar Pavlović is so hot right now.
The former Bayern Munich ball boy is now all grown up and promoted to the seniors — and winning awards for his excellent play.
Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg explained on Twitter earlier this month that the 21-year-old Bayern youngster and Germany international had captured the lion’s share in a poll of listeners to his transfers show for last year’s ‘Newcomer of the Season’:
For the first time, we awarded the ‘Newcomer of the Season’ prize on our show ‘Transfer Update‘ … ✔️
You voted, and with 40% of the votes, Aleksandar Pavlovic was chosen as the winner. Xavi secured second place with 26% of the votes. Yesterday, we presented Pavlovic with the award.
Something tells us this will not be the last nor the highest accolade the 20-year-old will receive in the coming years. Nonetheless he seems to have taken it as a great honor, and the first of many steps in his burgeoning career.
“I’m very happy that you voted for me. I just want to keep going and show even more,” the youngster is quoted as saying by Plettenberg. “The award means a lot to me. It’s something special. I want to be a regular starter, stay a regular starter, perform well, help the team, and win titles.”
