The teenage sensation has been in miraculous form for both club and country since rising to prominence last season.
He became a pivotal figure for Barcelona during the 2023/24 campaign, and that led to him being called up to the Spanish national team.
His prominence within his club also translated to the La Furia Roja set-up, playing a significant role in helping them set the record for most UEFA European Championship triumphs.
He also won the competition's best young player award, and has continued to establish his legend in the new campaign.
Four games into the new LALIGA season, the winger has scored four goals in Barca's first four league games, and it is these performances over the past year that have led many to hold him in high regard already despite being just 17 years old.
He was also recently named among the 30 nominees for the 2024 Ballon d'Or award, further validating his brilliance at a young age, and former Spain star Guti, who played 542 matches for Los Blancos from 1995 to 2010, has now claimed he has a valid case to win the award.
"Lamine could be the best of all right now," he said on television show El Chiringuito de Jugones.
