Title: Top teenagers in world football....according to FIFA
Post by: chelsealife on June 04, 2010, 08:13:23 PM

FIFA put out a call on their website, asking fans to name their top teenage footballing prospect. To get things started FIFA listed 38 suggestions, presumably the 38 best teenage soccer players in the world right now, in the opinion of either FIFA or whoever wrote the article. Makes for interesting reading.
Here are the the 38 players in alphabetical order:

Zhano Ananidze (Georgia)
Mario Balotelli (Italy)
Nassim Ben Khalifa (Switzerland)
Jeffery Bruma (Netherlands)
Sergio Canales (Spain)
Jonathan dos Santos (Mexico)
Douglas Costa (Brazil)
Wilson Cuero (Colombia)
Alan Dzagoev (Russia)
Stephan El Shaarawy (Italy)
Sani Emmanuel (Nigeria)
Kermit Erasmus (South Africa)
Fabio (Brazil)
Joseph Gyau (USA)
Lukman Haruna (Nigeria)
Eden Hazard (Belgium)
Gael Kakuta (France)
Ben Kantarovski (Australia)
Batuhan Karadeniz (Turkey)
Rene Krhin (Slovenia)
Romelu Lukaku (Belgium)
Iker Muniain (Spain)
Neymar (Brazil)
Sotiris Ninis (Greece)
Thomas Oar (Australia)
Philippe Coutinho (Brazil)
Miralem Pjanic (Bosnia)
Rafael (Brazil)
James Rodriguez (Colombia)
Jack Rodwell (England)
Eduardo Salvio (Argentina)
Yaya Sanogo (France)
Davide Santon (Italy)
Daniel Villalva (Argentina)
Georginio Wijnaldum (Netherlands)
Jack Wilshere (England)
Chris Wood (New Zealand)
Franco Zuculini (Italy)

I would have put Dan Gosling (England), Jose Baxter (England), Bojan (Spain), Davide De Gea (Spain), Francis Coquelin (France), Connor Wickham (England), Cristian Erikksen (Denmark), Thiago Alcantara (Brazil/Spain) Babacar(Senegal), Gael Kakuta (France), Gai Assulin(Israel) and Marc Muniesa (Spain) in the list as well to make it 50....lemme know ur views

I believe Kakuta is already on the list.

I'd include the likes of Ljajic (Serbia), Pogba (France), Muniesa (Spain), Keane (England), Onyema (Nigeria) etc.
