10 best youngsters in football right now

Honourable Mentions

Leicester City v Manchester City - Carabao Cup Quarter-Final

Phil Foden - Manchester City - 17-years-old

The most promising English youngster to come out in recent years, and plenty of Three Lions fans are extremely glad that Pep Guardiola is overseeing his development. Despite his tender years, the maturity that Foden shows in the middle of the park is eerily reminiscent of a young Xavi.

Christian Pulisic - Borussia Dortmund - 19-years-old

The best thing to come out of the United States of America in the last decade, although that's not exactly a high bar. Pulisic copped plenty of criticism from his own country after USA's ignominious failure to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but his response has simply been to put his head down and shine for Dortmund.

AS Monaco v RB Leipzig - UEFA Champions League

Timo Werner - RB Leipzig - 21-years-old

When a club like Real Madrid are considering making you their long-term target for the central striker role, you have to be good. Werner's rise to fame under Ralf Hassenhutl has convinced every Bundesliga fan that he will be Germany's striker for the long-term. The only question surrounding him is his willingness to put in the long hours.

Dele Alli - Tottenham Hotspur - 21-years-old

Dele Alli was widely considered one of the best in the world last year, but the hype has justifiably died down. The Englishman has gone from a player with excellent end-product to mediocre contributions coupled with a predilection for bad tackles and dives. The raw materials are still there though, and Dele Alli could still rise to the top echelons of football.
