#1 Breel Embolo
The most valuable under-19 striker in the whole world is Swiss international and FC Schalke's new recruit, Breel Embolo. After a decently successful UEFA European Championships campaign last summer, Embolo was linked with a move to Manchester United, Real Madrid and more but eventually chose the Bundesliga club simply because he could get the kind of game time he wanted.
Having spent a majority of his youth career with FC Basel and impressing while there, Embolo hasn't lived up to his potential with the Ruhr club. That either because he hasn't had the right kind of team around him or because he's been recuperating from a deadline cruciate ligament injury he's since sustained.
Nonetheless, the 19-year-old has the athletic build, pace and the finishing to succeed anywhere in years to come. He's currently valued at €20 million by transfermarkt.com and has already made 16 appearances for the Swiss senior side. He's the real deal with a bright future ahead of him. Once he's back to 100%, he'll continue to prove to the world just how talented he is.
