From Lamine Yamal To Jude Bellingham. Best youngsters in football!

In this article, we at Footdudes ranked the best youngsters in football currently.

Football is a dynamic and ever-growing sport where we see players upgrading themselves and the list keeps changing.

10. Xavi Simons

A very young talent with a lot of potential and modern sports adaptability. We are talking about Xavi Simons who was loaned to RB Leipzig from Paris Saint Germain.

The 21 year old Dutch is had a great 2023-24 season with RB Leipzig and has been a part of many goals for the side. Xavi Simons is a very promising talent with nice playmaking abilities and extensive ground coverage.

9. Cole Palmer

Cole Palmer is probably the only name that is able to make headlines and by headlines I mean positive headlines. Cole Palmer became the England men's player of the year for 2024. The 22 years old has a current market value of 90 million euros and is said to be the one of the best european young talents currently.

Despite not having a good last season from a team's perspective, Palmer managed to become the first player to have a spare of hat-tricks in a single premier league season.

8. Florian Wirtz

At 8, we are keeping the knight of Bayer Leverkusen Florian Wirtz who played a big role in taking Bayer Leverkusen to their historic Bundesliga title in the 2023-24 season..

Under Xabi Alonso, he has really grown his game and shown a more confident, more skilled and more productive version of himself. The 21 years old Wirtz also managed to be in the top 10 list of goal scorers and assist makers which is a very great feat for a player.

7. Josko Gvardiol

You might remember him as the masked Croatian in the FIFA 2022 world cup. Well, behind that mask is a sharp groomed face. But his defending is sharper than his looks. This big man of 22 years of age already playing for Manchester City not only has great defending but also possesses great speed and a powerful kick. He did great in the world cup campaign and also making it to City best 11 everytime. That's why Josko Gvardiol is our pick for the seventh position in the list.

6. Eduardo Camavinga

This 21 year old Frenchman plays for Real Madrid and even at such a young age he plays all the games for the mighty Madrid.

Eduardo Camavinga is a defensive midfielder always holding on to the defense lines with his great stamina and blazing speed. His physique might tell otherwise but Camavinga has great agility and strength. He is also never shy to play an attacking role and shoots in empty spaces.

He is very young but already filling the shoes of Casemiro. The youngster is always on the screen around the ball. 

5. Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland possesses speed, strength, acrobatics and a sublime offensive awareness. A teasing ball in the box and most of the times it's a goal if Haaland is on the pitch. Manchester City had everything but a good striker and their search was completed with Erling Haaland.

With Erling Haaland in the squad, City finally lifted not only the UEFA Champions League Trophy but the treble.

4. Bukayo Saka

Bukayo Saka against Nottingham forrest.

Our pick for the 4th position is Bukayo Saka. The 22 years old British plays for Arsenal and has proven to be a great asset for the team. He has also been named the England men's player of the year for 2022 and 2024.

Bukayo Saka had his personal best campaign last season (2023-24) and is proving to be a great winger due to his dribbling skills and shooting prowess.

3. Jamal Musiala

At 3rd position, we present you Jamal Musiala who played U-16 for England but now represents Germany due to the fact that he was born in Germany and also that Joachim Löw wanted him desperately to play for Germany.

A key member of the current Bayern Munich's squad, Musiala has stood upto all the expectations of supporters and management.

In my eyes, Musiala is the best dribbler in the world right now and also scores and provides assists for the team. The 21 year old has serious speed too.

2. Jude Bellingham

At 1st spot, we have Jude Bellingham. Currently, in the top 3 of the Ballon D'or rankings, Jude Bellingham is a very potential choice to win it.

Bellingham has a good header, blazing speed, great playmaking and does good with set pieces too. Apart from his attacking and midfielding qualities you can also see him in defense making some great clean tackles.

His overhead kick in the extra time of Euros proves his mentality and courage that Madrid players are known for.

He is just 21 and has become the new face of the Madristas. Everyone is doing his celebration, everyone is looking up to him in serious moments.

What he possesses that keeps him on the top is his leadership quality. Let me say again, he is just 21, but already coming out to be the leader for the mighty Madrid.

1. Lamine Yamal

The left footer made his senior debut with the record of being the youngest player in the history of La Liga and Spain national football team.

Despite being the youngest, Lamine Yamal is an ocean of skill and talent almost close to Lionel Messi. This is a big comparison but Yamal is really a great talent as we can see for the past couple of months. His skillset not only lies in scoring but also in playmaking and set-pieces. He has great speed, awesome dribbling and game awareness which is very hard to find in a 17 years old boy.
