Tottenham winger Giovani dos Santos is up for a World Cup award.

Germany midfielder Thomas Muller, Mexico forward Giovani dos Santos and Ghana midfielder Andre Ayew have made the three-man shortlist for the young player of the World Cup.

The trio for the Hyundai award were announced by FIFA's technical study group on Friday.

Muller, who has scored four goals, is the favourite and he would follow team-mate Lukas Podolski who won the award in 2006. The winner will be announced after Sunday's final.
