The Manchester City trio feature in the latest edition of the annual shortlist, which recognises the top 50 youngsters in world football.
It is the first time any of the three players have been selected, with Lavia ranked in 20th position and Delap in 23rd, whilst Kayky takes the 25th spot.
Players must be born on or after 1 January 2003 to be eligible for the list, which was compiled by a panel of football experts and journalists from around the world.
Delap, Kayky and Lavia have all played for City’s first team this season.
Defensive midfielder Lavia arrived at the Club in the summer of 2020 and was named Elite Development Squad (EDS) Player of the Season in his maiden campaign.
He made his senior debut in the Carabao Cup victory over Wycombe Wanderers in September, with a second appearance following in the FA Cup win against Swindon Town.
Delap has scored freely for the Under-18s and EDS since joining City in 2019 and was on target in a dream debut against Bournemouth last season.
He missed five months of the 2021-22 campaign with an ankle injury, but has made three senior appearances since returning to full fitness in February.
Brazilian winger Kayky has been at the Club since September and has scored four goals in 11 games for Brian Barry-Murphy’s EDS.
His progress was rewarded with a first team debut against Swindon and he also made a six-minute cameo off the bench as Pep Guardiola’s men beat Norwich in February.
Everyone at Manchester City congratulates Liam, Kayky and Romeo on their inclusion in GOAL’s list.
