Everybody heard about Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Eden Hazard, Neymar, Xherdan Shaqiri, Ryo Miyaichi, Yann M’Vila and even Ravel Morrison is a well known name for Manchester United fans. However, there are more young players ready to make their mark this year. Here is a short list of names you should remember.
Iker Muniain
The Athletic Bilbao 18 year old midfielder is quite known in Spain and is considered a very important individual in the Spanish national team set-up. Marcelo Bielsa, the new Bilbao manager, loves him for his never-say-die attitude but this guy could be Spain’s Messi.

The Spartak Moscow star is 19 and although he is not the biggest guy on the field, he’s an explosive player armed with polished technical ability and a fine shot. He is “The Georgian Luka Modric“.

Samed Yesil
The Bayer Leverkusen player was a star at the U-17 World Cup and there is a lot more coming from the 17 year old. He is smart, competitive, combative and has a diverse arsenal of shots and tricks. Can play on the wings, as a striker or as a 9 and a half.

Georginio Wijnaldum
The 20 year old midfielder said he needed to leave Feyenoord which he said had “a small club mentality” to PSV in order to really shine. Wijnaldum is the closest thing the Dutch have to Edgar Davids right now.

Ioannis Fetfatzidis
Greece might be bankrupt but they still have some national treasures. The Olympiakos winger might be injured right now but he is a game changer. A small, tricky winger, he is a technical schemer on the right. Loves to take on defenders.

Antoine Griezmann
The 20 year old Real Sociedad’s winger has great ball control and a dangerous shooting ability from every corner of the field. A smaller version of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Derk Boerrigter
This guy is a late bloomer. He’s 25 but he amazing runs for Ajax this season should make the biggest clubs give more attention to the winger. Reminds me of Marc Overmars.
