#3 Bukayo Saka - England/Arsenal
Bukayo Saka played a starring role in England's run to the final of Euro 2020. The youngster was arguably the only bright spot in an otherwise dull 2020-21 campaign for Arsenal. He started off as a left-back for the Gunners but has since taken the role of an inverted right-winger.

Having started out as part of the backline, Saka is excellent at tracking back and providing defensive cover for his team. His trickery, which includes deft touches, flicks and turns, makes him a dangerous player to go up against for opposition defenders.
In 46 appearances across all competitions in the 2020-21 season, Saka scored seven goals and provided 10 assists. He is definitely the most promising player on Arsenal's payroll and is one of the most exciting teenagers on the planet.
#2 Pedri - Spain/Barcelona
18-year-old Pedri has already become one of the most reliable midfielders for both Spain and Barcelona. He was a fixture in Barcelona's starting lineup in the 2020-21 season and made a whopping 52 appearances across all competitions. He scored four goals and provided six assists as well.
Pedri was also excellent for Spain at Euro 2020 and started and finished all of La Roja's six matches at the tournament. His touch, passing, skills and vision are all exemplary and the 18-year-old has already been likened to Barcelona greats like Xavi and Andres Iniesta.
He has looked comfortable since slotting into Barcelona's midfield. Pedri has so far negotiated the role of a central midfielder in a possession-based system with aplomb. He was also named the Young Player of the Tournament at Euro 2020.
#1 Erling Haaland - Norway/Borussia Dortmund
No surprises here. The Borussia Dortmund marksman is the most sought-after striker in the world and he is just 20-years-old. One of the most prolific goalscorers on the planet, Haaland is an absolute beast in the final third.
In 41 appearances across all competitions in the 2020-21 season, Haaland scored 41 goals and provided 12 assists. Those numbers are incredible for anyone, let alone a player who is just 20. Haaland's explosive pace, power and finishing are already top-notch.
The Norwegian international is also great at linking up with his fellow attackers and has already shown that he has the mentality to make it big in the footballing world.
Haaland is also a strong aerial presence and he is certain to go from strength to strength in the coming years. Borussia Dortmund are desperate to hold on to him despite the overwhelming interest from European giants this summer. However, it is only a matter of time before Haaland secures a switch to a bigger club.
