#4 Dayot Upamecano (RP Leipzig)
While we said earlier that it is a difficult time for Italian football, it is the complete opposite for French football. Their young squad have just won the country’s second World Cup title in Russia, and there are still a host of excellent young players coming through, and one of those is defender Upamecano. He may not be the best known of France’s young players, but he certainly is one of the most talented.
He spent two seasons with Red Bull Salzburg, before moving to their partner club, RB Leipzig, in 2016 for a fee of around £8 million. He has had a decent couple of seasons in the Bundesliga, and began to establish himself in the side during the second half of last season. He made 37 appearances in all competitions, helping Leipzig qualify for the Europa League last season. He will hope to be first choice at the club next season, allowing him the chance to make a name for himself in Germany.
