Greatest Talents in European Football

We present what we consider to be the greatest talents in European football.

Achraf Hakimi (Inter Milan, 21)

Since July 2020, he’s been under contract with Inter Milan and is a Moroccan international. Hakimi is extremely effective on the right wing, both defensively and offensively.During his loan at Borussia Dortmund, he scored seven league goals and impressed as a provider as well, earning a spot in the Bundesliga’s top-10 list for assists. He also helped Dortmund finish as league runners-up twice.

Callum Hudson-Odoi (Chelsea, 19)

A product of Chelsea’s youth academy, he has already played 30 times for England’s youth national teams. Bayern Munich has also shown interest in the winger. In 2019, the talent made his debut for England’s senior national team.

Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund, 20)

Under coach Lucien Favre, Sancho became a regular starter. He was the only player to feature in all 34 Bundesliga matches and appeared in every single one of Dortmund’s seven Champions League games. With 29 goal contributions, he was pivotal in Dortmund’s run to second place. Manchester United and other top English clubs want to bring him back to the Premier League—but Dortmund is determined to keep him.

Kai Havertz (Bayer Leverkusen, 19)

He is the youngest player to have made at least 100 Bundesliga appearances—a remarkable record. Havertz primarily plays in the attacking midfield and occasionally on the right wing. In the 2018/19 season, he scored an impressive 17 goals. In the European U21 Player of the Year award, he finished third behind João Félix and Jadon Sancho.

Alphonso Davies (FC Bayern Munich, 19)

He burst onto the scene in the Champions League match against Barcelona. Davies sometimes replaced Alaba at left-back and established himself under coach Hansi Flick as a regular starter. The Canadian international joined Bayern from Vancouver in 2018—proving to be a fantastic long-term investment.

Phil Foden (Manchester City, 19)

In November 2019, Foden was voted the seventh-best U21 player in Europe. The talented midfielder is increasingly playing a key role in Manchester City’s first team and has already collected numerous domestic titles.

Houssem Aouar (Olympique Lyon, 21)

In 2014, at just 16, he won the French U17 national championship with Lyon, shining with 27 goals and 15 assists. Thanks to his stellar performances, he earned a call-up to France’s U19 national team at just 16 years and three months old.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool FC, 21)

Since 2004, Trent Alexander-Arnold progressed through every Liverpool youth team. He’s been part of the first team since 2016 as a right-back. Since 2018, he’s also featured for England’s national team. At a young age, he’s already won both the Champions League and the Premier League.
