Dheeraj Singh should always be at the top of this list. He is not a new name to any football fan of India and his spectacular performances at the U-17 World Cup are still fresh in their minds.

After the U-17 World Cup, the 18-year old went on to represent Indian Arrows in six matches and kept two impressive clean sheets.

However, he later ended his contract with AIFF and attended trials at Motherwell FC. Although he impressed the coaches in Europe, he couldn't complete a deal due to work permit issues, which brought him to Kerala Blasters.

Dheeraj's season with Blasters looks promising. The club has two other goalkeepers included in the squad - Naveen Kumar and Sujith S.

With only Naveen as an experienced keeper, Dheeraj is expected to make a bunch of first XI appearances.

He has already took guard for the team in the Yaris La Liga World and the pre-season matches in Thailand. Dheeraj without any room for doubt would be the youngster to look out for, this season.
