#3 Kingsley Coman – France

Kingsley Coman

The Frenchman probably boasts the best track record of the lot, having won three titles with three different clubs in the past three seasons. However, it has been in the past season with Bayern Munich that the 19-year-old speedster has genuinely proven his mettle. Under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola, Coman featured heavily both domestically and in Europe, with his extra-time winner against parent club Juventus in the Champions League quarterfinals arguably being the highlight.

He has shown great maturity on either flank for the Bavarians, combining to devastating effect with Brazilian winger Douglas Costa, and has been touted as the long-term replacement for the mercurial Franck Ribery.

Although he is a rookie at the international level with only 3 caps to his name, his blistering pace, direct approach, and mesmeric dribbling rightly sees him in the squad for the Euros. Since France are stacked with brilliance in the wide areas, his initial appearances might come as an impact sub, a role that he revelled at with Bayern Munich.
