#4 Lassana N'Diaye

No one from Mali knows his name, not even his Mali team-mates, until a few months ago. The young forward was drafted into the squad just before the qualifying tournament in August.
After four World Cup matches in India, he is beginning to catch the attention of scouts across the world as N'Diaye is starting to stamp his mark. The Mali forward has found the net every 88 minutes at the FIFA U17 World Cup scoring five times already and played a key role in their World Cup top 4 finish.
Mali are one of the most attractive teams this U17 World Cup, scoring a lot of goals, thanks to N'Diaye. He is a natural goal scorer and will only get better with experience.
