Fifa has announced the shortlist for the men and women's player of the year awards.

Ten superstars from around the world have been chosen in each category.

The winners will be presented at The Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony in London on 24 September 2018.

England captain Harry Kane has made the list, fresh from winning the Golden Boot at Russia 2018 after scoring six goals.

Kane, joins last year's winner Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi on the men's list, but Brazilian superstar Neymar is controversially left out.
