How many footballers can boast of having played for Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Bayern Munich, all before turning even 20? The answer is one – Kingsley Coman.

One of the fastest players in world football today, selling Coman – their youngest ever debutant – is arguably the biggest mistake committed by PSG in the Khelaifi era. Soon enough, he was strutting his stuff for Bianconeri in the Champions League final against Barcelona.

However, it was under Guardiola at Bayern, that Coman really took a giant stride towards becoming an elite footballer. Taking on the mantle of replacing Robben and Ribery along with Douglas Costa, Coman shred Bundesliga defences to pieces with his direct running and mazy footwork.

Last year’s Golden Boy runner-up to Anthony Martial, Coman – who reached the Euro 2016 final with France – is definitely in the running to win it this time around.
