Top ten players in the world under 23 years, aka The young STARS
-
@sergiu-il Agree with every sentence you have written! Ajax has an amazing young and talented squad!
Alongside these players you have mentioned, I would like to add three more young talented players such as Donny van de Beek, Dani de Wit, and Kasper Dolberg! They are all 21 years old, and in my opinion, they will be amazing players!
Since Neymar went from Barca to PSG for 222 million everything goes crazy and unreal, in my opinion!
A lot of average players are selling for 30-40 million, and football becoming more and more just a money industry, and that is a sad fact for real football fans!Cheers

@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

@pin-kod @EdgarF98 I have high hopes for Joao Félix, just hope the pressure doesn't get in his way since he's so young, let's not forget other talents that Benfica introduced last/this season and other stars
For example grimaldo, such a beastly LB, graduated in Barcelona arrived at Benfica for 1M, another foreign examples could be Zivkovic (have really high hopes for this kid) and Krovinovic.
Gedson Fernandes, Florentino Luis are academy graduates who are capable of becoming first teamers and maybe superstars.
Did anyone mention Miguel Almiron? He arrived at Newcastle and god damn I just get Santiago Munez flashbacks, the kid's just so good and has such a warrior spirit, could be one of the Ballon D'or nominees in a few years.
In my opinion we're assisting the birth of some superstars like Luka Jovic, Nicolas Pépé, Trent Alexander Arnold (first game back from injury and he nets 3 assists!), Lucas Torreira and Guendouzi, Rúben Neves and Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa (son of legendary striker Enrico Chiesa), Aouar (he's just 20 and he plays with such elegance), Dani Olmo (is rumoured to be transfered to either Real or Barça though Real seems more likely), Hirving Lozano, Pavard, Malang Sarr, Diop, Todibo, Akanji, Hakimi, Diallo, Thiago Almada, Arthur (next xavi/iniesta for me), Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, Zaniolo, Cutrone, Donnaruma, Romagnoli, Caldara, De Sciglio, and so many more players but these are all from my memory.

@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!
Cheers

Hattrick tonight against Frankfurt, just 19y

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.

-
@IvanAndal I agree, but i think Nikola Moro from Dinamo might become even better, new Luka Modrić
-
I think, that Dejan Joveljić from Eintracht Frankfurt will be a great player. He is very talented striker like Edin Džeko
-
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 -
I'm quite impressed with this player tbh, great finisher, his future is bright...
Erling Braut Håland, 19 yo
-
@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
-
Donny vd beek AJAX Amsterdam, Holland
Noa Lang AJAX Amsterdam. Holland
Frenkie de Jong Barcalona HollandThese players are the biggest, and also were nominated to winn prices at the Ball dÓr
-
Tyrell Malacia Feyenoord Rotterdam
-
hudson odoi and dwight mcneil ar pretty good
-
Gedson Fernandes (21 yo) signs for Tottenham on loan from Benfica, for sure another star in the making
and Arthur Melo 
. They are the future of FCB and of world football without a doubt.
