PSG have no shortage of superstars and great prospects. The Parisian club employ the services of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar up front.

But Arnaud Kalimuendo, a PSG graduate from their U-19 side, is making news for all the right reasons. Kalimuendo has been in stellar form for RC Lens, on loan from PSG.

Kalimuendo is a talented Frenchman who has already netted four times for PSG. He excels in the centre-forward position and, like Georginio Rutter, is a highly pacy footballer. It is evident that Kalimuendo has an extremely high ceiling and is destined for success.

#2 Florian Wirtz

Bayer 04 Leverkusen v VfL Wolfsburg - Bundesliga

Florian Wirtz made his debut for Bayer Leverkusen at the age of 16. He was so impressive as a teenager that the German wonderkid has never looked back since. Bayer fast-tracked his development and moved him into the first-team squad from their U-19 side. Since then, Wirtz has grown step by step, and the creative wonderkid is already a first-team regular.

Wirtz has already made 18 appearances in the current season, and his performances have been nothing but stellar. Wirtz operates in a central attacking midfield position and has made a remarkable 11 assists this season.

Wirtz also demonstrates excellent goal-scoring ability and has scored eight times so far. The Bayer wonderkid was also the Bundesliga player of the month for September.

#1 Hugo Ekitike

France seems to have an abundance of wonderkids and other talented youngsters, especially in the attacking department. One has to look no further than Stade Reims wonderkid, Hugo Ekitike. The teenage centre-forward has been a livewire for the French club and is an academy product. Ekitike has an immense talent for taking on defenders and beating them with guile and skill.

Ekitike started in the age divisions but was quickly promoted to the primary side due to an injury crisis. He began as a sub-option but made enough contributions to deserve a starting spot. The French wonderkid, also eligible for Cameroon, has made 14 senior appearances so far.

He has already netted six times. He has more league goals in the teenage category in the big five leagues than anyone else at the moment. It is highly likely that if Ekitike can continue his form, big things await him at the end of the season.
