Top 10 Anticipated Breakthrough In WC2018 !
Every edition of FIFA World Cup brings a new star to the footballing world. Here we list the top 10 young players to watch out for in 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Kylian Mbappe undoubtedly is the hottest prospect in world football at the moment. Although being just 19 years old, he has the major responsibility of leading the French attack. He has so much maturity in his play. Having already won Ligue 1 and reaching the Champions League semis with his former side, AS Monaco, he has big game experience under his belt too. He certainly is one to look out for this time.
2. Gabriel Jesus BRA
Many Brazilians believe Gabriel Jesus to be the heir of Brazilian great Ronaldo's throne Gabriel Jesus brings a lot more to the game than just scoring goals. Jesus is undoubtedly one of the most talented forwards in the world. His sharp movements and an eye for goal is second to none. If he is on his game then Brazil might have a serious chance of triumph.
3. Ousmane Dembele FRA
Ousmane Dembele moved to Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund in a whooping £135m deal. The French international is very talented player. Perhaps he might be the best player interms of using both foot. He himself once said he dont know his stronger foot. Dembele is that talented. Dembele and Kylian Mbappe on flanks is surely gonna put us on edge of our seats.
4. Goncalo Guedes POR
Not many are known about Goncalo Guedes. The Portuguese attacker was on loan at Valencia from PSG. With 8 goals and 9 assists in 2017/18 season, he is on fine form heading into this summer showpiece. His major strength is dribbling and passing. He’s been dubbed Portugal’s heir to Ronaldo’s throne, and given time, that may well ring true.
5. Timo Werner GER
When Germany won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, they often used false 9 instead of a real number 9, because Germany didnt have a good striker back then. Mario Gotze played that role. Timo Werner might just be the missing puzzle of German attack. Having already scored 8 goals in 14 games for German National Team, he undoubtedly will have a eye on the Golden Boot.
The Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford couldnt prove himself as an outbrusting in 17/18 season as he was in the previous seasons. But still his stunning skills to pierce the opponents defence line with pace will most probably put him in the choice of England's boss Gareth Southgate for the England's attack in the World cup. The 20-years old youngman is set to rock on Russia who has improving mentality and attributes of a top player.
The young winger is one of only three home-based players included in the Argentina squad for the finals in Russia, but Jorge Sampaoli has high hopes for the winger. He is already attracting interest from Juventus and linked with Arsenal. Bustling, quick and capable of beating a man, he could be a game-changer for the 2014 finalists.
A young forward with a powerful shot, Kasper Dolberg is considered an emerging talent in Danish football. He has also shown that he can be adaptable, having been used on the left wing as well at Ajax. Though he saw limited action with the Danes during Russia 2018 qualifying, Dolberg is likely to be utilised from the substitutes bench.
Hakim Ziyech is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Ajax in the Eredivisie and for the Morocco national team. He is known for his technique and free kick ability. This summer might earn him a well deserved move to a big club provided that he does well in the World Cup. AS Roma are currently interested in bringing him to the Italian capital.
The 19-year-old will become just the seventh teenager in history to travel with the Three Lions to the World Cup finals. Alexander-Arnold made his debut in the farewell friendly win over Costa Rica but is behind Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier in the reckoning at right wing-back. He starred in Liverpool's magical run to UEFA Champions League final and if given chance he wont let the English side down in summer.
