Arzani in action at the World Cup

Australian winger, Daniel Arzani was the youngest player at this year's World Cup. At 19 years, the teenager is only 15 days younger than Mbappe and is widely considered to be a promising prospect for the Socceroos.

The Socceroos manager Bert van Marwijk picked him in the squad for the World Cup after judging the winger on his season with the A-League side Melbourne City. Despite bagging just 2 goals and 3 assists to his name in the league. Arzani did play for Australia in the World Cup but lacks the end product and must work on his all-around game.

Arzani made his senior team debut for Australia in the team's 4-0 win against the Czech Republic before the start of the World Cup, coming on as a substitute in the 84th minute of the game. Still very young and with experience coming along the way he could be a vital player for the Socceroos despite their early exit this time out.
