#1 Ansu Fati (Age: 18 | Forward)

Without a doubt, one of the most talented youngsters in the world at the moment is Barcelona’s very own Ansu Fati. The 18-year-old winger, a product of La Masia has impressed everyone this season and his performance at the end of last season even got him four caps in the national team. His debut against Germany made him the youngest debutant since 1936.

The player scored five goals and provided four assists in all competitions this season before getting injured. He was a constant starter for Ronald Koeman and his incredible performance made Barcelona secure him to the club with a massive 400 million euros release clause.

He was diagnosed with a tear to the internal meniscus of the left knee, which meant that he would at least be out for the next four months. Doctors expect him to be back on the pitch by March and he could even play in the second leg of the match against Paris Saint-Germain.
