#1 Takefusa Kubo - Japan
The 16-year-old has been nicknamed Japan's Lionel Messi. Kubo was part of Barcelona's famous La Masia youth system before moving to Japan in 2015. Japan had produced some set-piece specialists in past and Kubo has been tipped to join the line. His magic on set-pieces has made him top the list and India will soon see his magic during next month's FIFA U-17 World Cup.
