(Brentford)
It remains a
mystery just how
the Algerian wing
virtuoso has won
only three senior
caps for his
country. With
his nimble
footwork and
vast array of tricks,
the 24-year-old
deserves a much
higher platform
than the English
Championship.

(Olympiakos)
Impressive left-
back whose pace
and attacking
intent were there
for all to see in his
side’s Champions
League and
Europe League
campaigns this
season. He spent
some of his early
years on loan at
Denmark’s Esbjerg
and with Willem II
in Holland.

(Celtic)
The Hoops will
undoubtedly feel
the pinch should
their goal-a-game
striker be lured
away to pastures
new. One of an
innumerable line
of PSG academy
graduates who
felt compelled to
seek first-team
opportunities
elsewhere.

(Feyenoord)
Capped by Holland
as a youth but now
a Turkey under-21
international, the
19-year-old can
turn his hand to
any midfield task,
equally comfortable
in a deep-lying role,
a box-to-box runner
or number ten. A
star performer for
Feyenoord in the
UEFA Youth League
in 2017-18.


(Red Bull Salzburg)
Now 19 – and
with the likes of
Juventus, Bayern
Munich, Ajax and
Napoli keen to
snap him up – the
classy attacking
midfielder was
only 16 when
first called up
to Hungary’s
senior squad.

(Dinamo Zagreb)
With five goals for
Croatia in the Euro
2021 qualifiers,
clubs including
Barcelona are
said to be closely
watching the
Dinamo centre-
forward. Voted
Player of the Year
last term by club
captains in the
nation’s top flight.

(Sparta Prague)
Mature 17-year-old
second striker who
many in the Czech
Republic regard as
the most talented
player to emerge
in those parts
since Tomas
Rosicky. Borussia
Dortmund are
among those in
awe of his dribbling
ability, superb
finishing and
physical resilience.

(Aves)
After shining in the
first half of the
season with Aves’
under-23s, the
midfielder of
Guinea-Bissau
lineage has made
extremely light
work of the
transition to the
Portuguese top
flight. Once on
Benfica’s books.
