#5 Gedion Zelalem (Arsenal, USA)
Trending
Gedion Zelalem has had quite the globetrotting start to life. He was born in Germany to Ethiopian parents but moved as a nine-year-old to the United States of America, who he will represent at the Under-20 World Cup, despite having previously featured for Germany at younger age brackets.
The midfielder, a creative one by trade, is on the books at Premier League giants Arsenal and has played in the FA Cup for Arsene Wenger’s side. Additionally, he has had a loan spell in Scotland with Rangers as well as with VVV in the Netherlands’ second tier this season.
The Gunners recently tied him down to a new deal, indicating their desire to persist with a young man regarded to be very technically able, but who excels in his game awareness and passing. A strong tournament in South Korea would be another step towards the top for the 20-year-old, who will be one of the oldest players in the competition.
