Possibly the highest profile name on the list, Enzo Zidane has really big boots to fill given his father Zinedine’s standing and success in the game. World Cup and Euro winner with France, one-time Ballon d’Or winner in 1998 and 3-time FIFA World Player of the Year, Zinedine Zidane has continued his winning habit by lifting the UEFA Champions League trophy with Real Madrid in his first season as a manager.

Zinedine Zidane is one of the greatest players ever and won the Champions League in his first season as a manager

As such, Enzo has a long way to go to emulate his father and even more so because he plays for the same club albeit their B team, Real Madrid Castilla. Playing as an attacking midfielder, Enzo has been notching up assists along with goals for his team.

He made his senior debut in a Copa del Rey match against Cultural Leonesa when he came on as a substitute and scored from the edge of the box to cap off a memorable match.

Enzo currently trains with the first team with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and Gareth Bale. He is eligible to play for Spain as well as France and Algeria and his father has stated that his son can choose to play for the country of his liking.

At 21 years of age, Enzo is at a crucial juncture as the growth he shows in the next couple of years will have a major impact on the kind of career he has.
