10 best young footballers in the world - September 2018

Who is the best young footballer in the world?

#7 Thomas Lemar

Club Atletico de Madrid v Rayo Vallecano de Madrid - La Liga
Thomas Lemar - Atletico Madrid

Age: 22

Market Value: €70 million

Club: Atletico Madrid

Thomas Lemar will turn 23 next month and become unavailable for entry onto this list so it is appropriate that the Frenchman can be included this time around.

Having dazzled during a three-year spell at Monaco, Lemar secured a massive €70 million move to Atletico Madrid this summer, becoming the club's most expensive ever signing in the process.

The midfielder has already represented his country 13 times and was part of the squad which won the World Cup a few months ago. He was also part of the Atletico Madrid team which defeated Real Madrid to win the UEFA Super Cup, claiming silverware on his debut for Los Colchoneros.

Lemar's dribbling and passing ability make him a terrifying prospect for any defence to face and we will surely see his name crop up as a nomination for numerous awards over the coming years.
