@edgarf98 Both players are great talent's, and both from the Benfica academy, so that fact is fantastic for the club and Portuguese football!

I'm always admiring clubs which promote to the first team players from the academy system!

So, in your opinion, which ten players under 23 years deserve to be on this list?

Cheers

@sergiu-il Amazing elaboration in this theme, well-done mate!
Portuguese clubs have an amazing football academy and every year they produce new talents!

Agree with you on every young Benfica player you have mentioned, such a great football potential Benfica has!

And I agree on your list of youngsters from all around the world, so many talented football players are out there!

And I think it's gonna be interesting if you create your own list,(top 10), of young world football stars under 23 years old, at this moment!

Right now I would not know how to make a top 10. But surely I would make a midfield formed by De Jong and Arthur Melo . They are the future of FCB and of world football without a doubt.

We need to put De Jong and De Ligt into the top ten list

I think Dani Olmo from GNK Dinamo Zagreb is a player who is hugely underestimated. I'm sure he is a future superstar. Incredible technic and IQ. In my opinon he is currently a better player then Jao Felix.

Kazuyoshi Miura

Vincent Ado Kompany

I think, that Dejan Joveljić from Eintracht Frankfurt will be a great player. He is very talented striker like Edin Džeko

Vincent Ado Kompany

My top 10 players:
Gianluigi Donnaruma
Mathias de Ligt
Donny van de Beek
Dejan Joveljić
Dani Olmo
Kylian Mbappe
Jardon Sancho
Ansu Fati
Joao Felix
Merih Demiral

@J-T-COSTA Haaland is a great player this year indeed but I think he needs to stay with Leipzig and develop, It would be a shame for this young talent to move to such a big team so early on in his career. I hope he does not follow the same direction as players like De Ligt. What is your opinion mate? should he stay or leave

@ianthebean-byrne I think he should go to a bigger club in January, but a club where he actually has a chance to play

All Bundy_1_NL

Donny vd beek AJAX Amsterdam, Holland
Noa Lang AJAX Amsterdam. Holland
Frenkie de Jong Barcalona Holland

These players are the biggest, and also were nominated to winn prices at the Ball dÓr

Tyrell Malacia Feyenoord Rotterdam

Gedson Fernandes (21 yo) signs for Tottenham on loan from Benfica, for sure another star in the making

@J-T-COSTA Hopefully it goes better than the current midfield loaning tactic Tottenham has done, they got Giovanni Lo Celso on loan last year from Real Betis and he has failed to impress at all regarding stats, having 1 goal and no assist in 15 appearances in all comps and nothing in 12 appearances in the Premier League with Tottenham this season after having 16 goals and 4 assists in 45 matches in all comps for Real Betis last season, hopefully, it will go better for Tottenham this time around since it is a different player.
