This summer, we watched on with a mixture of horror

and joy as two of the biggest stars on Planet Football

dominated the transfer agenda. Messi and Ronaldo

may still be on top of the world into their mid-30s – but

the next generation are ready to steal their limelight.

As we prepare to usher in another giant World Cup year,

FFT assesses 22 starlets under the age of 22 who seem

set to shine around the globe. Leading the way is Borussia

Dortmund’s freakish frontman Erling Haaland – likely to be

the most in-demand player in world football next summer

when every behemoth battles to trigger his €75m release

clause. It’s a fierce war that’s already begun.

There are plenty of young Brits to get excited about too,

though – not least Haaland’s thriving BVB colleague Jude

Bellingham, plus Phil Foden, a returning Harvey Elliott at

Liverpool, Chelsea’s Billy Gilmour and Bukayo Saka.

Elsewhere, we sat down for a chat with Saka’s Arsenal

ancestor of a decade ago, Jack Wilshere, to reminisce and

discover what’s next for the former midfielder.

If you’re struggling for Christmas

present ideas, meanwhile (this editor

is guilty), FFT has your back with our

guide to the finest football gear on

the market. Failing that, just buy it

all for yourself. Enjoy the mag...
