5 young players who could take next year's World Cup by storm

#3 Andreas Christensen

Christensen has experience and maturity beyond his years

Fans will be forgiven for not knowing who Andreas Christensen was prior to this season, but his lack of prominence shouldn't take anything away from his talent and skill.

In many ways, he is the Danish John Stones, but labelling him that will conceal the fact that he is miles better than John Stones was at his age (he is 21, John Stones is 23 now). Before Chelsea, Christensen played for Borussia Monchengladbach for 2 years where he developed into the classy, ball-playing, composed centre back that he is today.

His years in the Champions League with Gladbach saw him play against many big guns like Barcelona and Manchester City, so in no way will he be fazed playing for the national team on the big stage.

Denmark have a favourable draw with France, Peru and Australia, and should be fancied to go through along with France. With players like Eriksen and Delaney in midfield and youth all around him in defence, Christensen can help form a strong spine for the Danish side next summer.
