The top 50 young players in Europe (50-41)

Daily Mail

Mason Greenwood - 18 - Manchester United Gary Neville compared him to Robin van Persie when he scored against Everton recently and it's fair to say there's a bit of magic in Mason Greenwood's boots.

Breel Embolo - 22 - Borussia Monchengladbach Breel Embolo has been one to watch for a while — becoming Schalke's most expensive signing ever will do that. Victor Osimhen - 20 - Lille Born next to one of Nigeria's biggest rubbish dumps, it has been a complicated journey for Victor Osimhen to become one of the more coveted young forwards in Europe.
