  • Wonderkids: Pedri

    Pedri has quickly established himself as a regular starter for FC Barcelona, no easy feat for an 18-year-old coming from the Segunda División. He has tended to play as an inverted winger, at least at the start of the season, but the combination of his excellent passing and dribbling skills, combined with outstanding vision, could…

  • Wonderkids: Jude Bellingham

    There is a reason why the 17-year-old Jude Bellingham is already getting regular playing time at Borussia Dortmund and has debuted with the England national team: he is already a complete midfielder. Physically strong, Bellingham is comfortable in both defensive and attacking duels, despite his very young age. In our view, however, he will need…

  • Wonderkids: Mason Greenwood

    Mason Greenwood’s impact at Manchester United has been as rapid and unpredictable as he is on the pitch. His impressive 2019/20 campaign set the bar very high for the young Englishman, and he has struggled to meet those expectations so far this season. Nonetheless, he undoubtedly possesses outstanding attributes, above all his speed and two-footedness,…

  • Wonderkids: Myron Boadu

    Myron Boadu, soon to turn 20, is one of the best examples of a modern ‘poacher’, a forward with an extreme focus on scoring goals. A product of AZ Alkmaar’s talent factory, Boadu has demonstrated his special instinct for goals, although he does also seem inclined towards the associative game typical of Dutch football. After…

    Harvey Elliott, a very skilled attacking midfielder, is impressing in his loan spell with Blackburn, where he continues to hone his talents as part of a process that will lead him back to his parent club Liverpool, sooner or later. According to our model, in 12 months he should be ready for a chance in…

  • Wonderkids: Jérémy Doku

    Jérémy Doku is one of the wonderkids with the most room for improvement, in our view. The 18 year-old winger has already showcased his electrifying pace and elite dribbling for both club and country. However, we find his decision making in the final third to still be suboptimal and, after joining Rennes, he is still…

  • Wonderkids: Florian Wirtz

    Florian Wirtz has all the credentials to become one of the top attacking midfielders in Europe, in our view. Technically gifted, Wirtz’s dribbling and vision are his main skills, while he is also very dynamic and covers a lot of ground during matches. Furthermore, various external factors lead us to believe that this 17-year-old wonderkid…

  • Wonderkids: Eduardo Camavinga

    Already on the shortlists of many of Europe’s top clubs, Eduardo Camavinga showcases uncommon maturity, confidence and composure, all qualities that he will surely develop further thanks to his strong attention to detail and work ethic. The next step in Camavinga’s on-pitch development is to complete the transition from defensive to box-to-box midfielder, which should…
