Malcolm much like his countryman Pele
and Neymar Brazilian footballer Malcolm
goes by one name and one name only the
song Paulo native got his start playing
with the Corinthians youth team before
making the jump to their main squad in
2014 in 2016 he signed with French club
Bordeaux and quickly began lighting it
up as both a winger and attacking
midfielder he helped Brazil make it to
the finals of the 2015 FIFA under-20
World Cup but was surprisingly left off
the 2018 World Cup squad in hindsight it
appears that Brazil could have used
Malcolm services at just 21 years of age
the future is bright for this rising
star number 9 Timo Verner
Berner has managed to achieve a lot in a
short period of time he began his career
with VfB Stuttgart in 2013 becoming both
the youngest player to represent the
club as well as the youngest to ever
score a goal for them in 2016 he joined
RB Leipzig and quickly thrived scoring
21 goals and helping the club qualify
for their first UEFA Champions League
around the same time he began making a
splash on the international stage
helping Germany win the FIFA
Confederations Cup and taking home the
tournament’s Golden Boot Award in the
process despite a lackluster performance
at the 2018 World Cup team over nur
should still be considered one of
football’s best young players number 8
christian Pula such let’s be honest it’s
been some time since an American player
made a splash on football’s world stage
but Christian poulos is poised to change
all that thanks to his multifaceted play
blistering speed and above average
soccer IQ the 19 year old phenom has the
ability to play as both a winger and an
attacking midfielder something he’s done
on numerous occasions for both Borussia
Dortmund who he’s been with since 2015
and the u.s. national team poulos hich
still has some developing to do on the
pitch namely improving his long-distance
accuracy but if America qualifies for
the World Cup in 2022 it’ll definitely
be on the back of Pula stitches play
number 7 mark
Rochefort despite being just 20 years
old Rochefort served as a solid bench
player for England’s national team at
the 2018 World Cup helping them make it
to their first semi-final in over 25
years when he’s not coming off the bench
for his country he’s putting balls in
the back of the net for Manchester
United team he scored 17 goals for since
2015 in 2017
Rochefort solidified his status as one
of the world’s hottest up-and-comers
when he came third behind Killian in
ballet in dushman Dembele
two names that’ll pop up later in the
voting for the Golden Boy award handed
out annually to Europe’s best player
under the age of 21
number 6 Gian Luigi dhana Ouma you
didn’t think we’d go this whole list
without the mention of at least one
goalkeeper did you Gianluigi Donovan
Roma is the obvious candidate when it
comes to which young keeper you should
be keeping an eye on the 65 Italian
keeper made his professional debut at
the ripe old age of 16 and has been a
starter ever since in 2018 he became the
youngest player ever to reach 100 games
in cydia while playing for AC Milan
earning a slew of clean sheets along the
way having already drawn comparisons to
legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi
Buffon it would appear that Don rumen is
on the fast track to football
superstardom number 5 Marko Ascencio
with two UEFA Champions League titles
under his belt Real Madrid attacking
midfielder Marko Ascencio has already
accomplished more at the age of 22 than
most players do in their entire careers
he’s proved to be an invaluable member
of the squad during their back-to-back
championship runs something that wasn’t
overlooked when it came time to select
which players would represent Spain at
the 2018 World Cup while he failed to
score a goal and Spain failed to advance
beyond the round of 16 Ascencio shooting
and ability to outmuscle opponents make
him one player that you’d be foolish to
sleep on number 4
Bushman Dembele at just 21 years of age
which mon Dembele is a big reason why
france has an excellent shot at
repeating as world champions in 2022 a
sure-footed forward with blazing speed
and a shot to match Dan Bailey has been
making his mark on the pitch for some
time now having produced first for
Borussia Dortmund and later Barcelona he
took home Bundesliga Rookie of the
season honors in 2016 and followed it up
by finishing second in voting for
Europe’s best player under the age of 21
award in 2017 is usman Dan Bailey a
rising star you better believe it
number 3 Gabrielle
Zuse an Olympic gold-medal a Premier
League title and an AFL Cup that’s what
Gabrielle’s jesu she has managed to win
so far in his career and he’s only 21 he
scored 10 goals in just 22 international
appearances and has potted another 36 in
club play the Brazilian forward has been
praised for his creativity and movement
and promises to be a focal point of
Manchester City’s offense going forward
well this performance of the 2018 World
Cup left something to be desired
we aren’t holding that against him
considering he’s more than proved his
worth
number 2 v royce on a how and why leroy
santa was left off of Germany’s 2018
World Cup squad we will never know what
we do know is that he is an extremely
talented young winger whose time with
Manchester City has been nothing short
of brilliant he took home the PFA Young
Player of the Year award in 2017 netting
10 goals and 32 appearances and helping
Man City win a Premier League title and
an EFL Cup perhaps Germany will come to
their senses by the time 2022 rolls
around because despite his dual German
and French citizenship he’s played for
Germany too many times to still be
eligible for lai blue before we unveil
our top pick here are a few honorable
number one Killian and Bappi after a
stellar World Cup one could argue that
Killian and poppy is on the cusp of
full-fledged
superstardom the second teenager to
score a goal in the World Cup Finals
after Pele no less and Bappi took home
the FIFA World Cup best young player
award and proved to be an invaluable
part of France’s championship squad his
speed strength and vision gave opposing
defenders nightmares throughout the
tournament feeling his Leaguer opponents
know all too well at just 19 years of
age Killian and Buffet’s career is just
getting started
which means we’ll be seeing plenty more
of this French wunderkind in the years
to come
