Top 10 best players under the age of 23

#5 Malcom

FC Barcelona v Boca Juniors - Joan Gamper Trophy

Malcom set the world alight during his time with Bordeaux scoring 20 goals in 84 appearances during his time at the club. This resulted in a range of clubs wanting his services including Arsenal, Barcelona and Roma. It looked certain that Roma would sign Malcom after the club announced that they had signed a deal with the player, however, this was not true with Malcolm ending up joining Barcelona for 41 million euros.

Malcolm looks set to be a star of the future but has sadly not managed to make much of an impact since his arrival at Barcelona. His next step should be to break into the Brazil squad and make sure he becomes a starter for the next World Cup in 2022.

#4 Leon Bailey

Leon Bailey

Bailey has made a name for himself at Bayern LeverKusen having become one of their most important players. He is currently being monitored by Bayern Munich with the German club looking to sign the Jamacian in the January Transfer window.

He has had the chance to reperesent the Jamacian national team but has turned it down partly because of the poor standard of the team and also because he feels that if he is called up then his brother Kyle Butler should also receive a call up. It still remains rather uncertain whether Leon Bailey could ever play for England due to his grand parent both having UK cinterzenship.
