DEFENCE
Matthjis Delight with defenders like Kurt Zouma and Nathan ake 5 years his senior starting to hone hone their skills. It makes you wonder what limit this young man’s potential has if any. We may return to an era of elite defending not seen since Maldini and Baresi
Alessandro Plizzari very good Euro u21 tournament Ac Milan youth academy product. Italy has been producing reputable young goalies. Gigi Donnaruma is worth note and his understudy is showing signs of great potential of an impressive u21 tournament with Italy. Alex Meret was able to break into the national team from Serie B. The emphasis on youth in Italy is clear.
Sandro Tonali
Integral part of Brescia promotion reminder of Veratti jump from Serie B to PSG.
Kai havertz attacking midfielder versatile and improving every season.
Pietro Pellegri towering striker learning his trade Monaco has nurtured talent such as Kylian Mbappe, this young man has work to do.. As the joint youngest Serie A player in history his experience in two different leagues may prove in valuable. I feel he is at an ideal club to develop nicely and push him to the upper echelons of world football should he excel.
Khephren Thuram has been scoring wonder goals with the youth side in Monaco is this his season with Nice to prove himself truly Elite.
Dayot Upamecano with a €100 million release clause this values him higher than Delight
Nicolo Zaniolo celebrating after the score , Roma one to watch
Karamoko Dembele Ivorian/Scottish/English storming his way up the development rank to play at Celtic’s u20 level at just 13. He made his debut for the 1st last season it will be good to keep an eye on him. Only sixteen now is he poised to take the football World by storm?
Rafa Leao dubbed the best youth to come from the Sporting academy this is a young man to watch. With Joao Felix making his €126 million price tag cheap in preseason. His €36 million move to Milan may prove a shrewd piece of business.
Unable to break into the Man City team, Jadon Sancho has shown his metal and with his performance against Bayern in the German super Cup. This young man has a serious claim for the award this year.
At age 19 and already the 5th most expensive player in history, I urge you to see his screamer vs Juventus in the international Cup preseason tournament. This will reassure you he can return on this investment and make it look cheap.
Emile Smith Rowe
Currently sent on loan to RB leipzig, however Bayern Munich have showed interest in signing him permanently as they attempt to rejuvenate their squad he will be one to watch, if my hunch is correct he should have a big season.
Callum Hudson-Odoi
With Frank Lampard in the dugout we can expect attacking football to be on offer at Chelsea, he seems keen to put responsibility in the hands of his young players. This departure from a more experienced approach will prove an exciting opportunity for this young man and he may very well excel.
” Captain America” Christian Pulisic
Having made himself an integral part of the USA men’s team and having a relatively successful spell in Dortmund. The competitiveness and quality of players in the Premier league will give us an opportunity to truly evaluate him. The opportunity is there for him this season and the sky is the limit.

Alexander Nübel
Dubbed the new Neuer and coming from a strong showing at u21 Euros he looks promising
Arnie Maier
Twice runner up to Kai Havertz in the German Young player award, emphasising my view defensive players may be at a disadvantage in awards processes in the modern game. He has been described as the flagship of the Hertha Berlin academy if not this season in the near future I believe he will become a renowned player. Powerhouse defensive midfielder
Ianis Hagi
Son of legend Gheorghe Hagi part of the u21 team that made it way to the semi finals in Italy. Currently playing his football in Belgium for Genk it will interesting to see him progress. His career may sky rocket in the not too distant future.. He is part of what could be a golden age for Romanian football..
