It is next to impossible to miss Tahith Chong, thanks to his striking hairstyle and skills with the ball.

Born on a small Dutch-Caribbean island named Curacao, Chong started his career in the ever impressive youth academy of Feyenoord at the age of 10. As talented as he was, he soon started attracting attention from the big guns in Europe.

Feyenoord tried hard to keep their bright prospect with them for the future but with so many elite clubs circling Chong, it was only a matter of time before he moved.

On 27th July 2016, he joined the Red Devils from Feyenoord. He currently plays for their U-18 team alongside Angel Gomes.

Chong prefers the left wing position but can play at both the right wing and number 10 position. He has all the skills and tricks to survive at the highest level but it his maturity and athleticism that sets him apart from the others.

He has the ability to leave opponents in a daze with his pace and then find a teammate with pinpoint crossing ability. Chong is known to play with a natural flair and often uses creativity and passing skills to set up goals for his teammates.

He is a part of Netherland's youth program and plays for their U-17 team.
