Today I'll be covering the 10 best young prospects of the future. I'll be looking at their stats on paper, in-match skills, their valuations and their chances of becoming a future Ballon d'Or winner! Every player in this list has the ability to become the best in their respective positions and they are the spearheads of the next generation. 10. Dayot Upamecano - Defender This 20 year old Frenchman has been a rock at the heart of RB Leipzig's defence for the past few seasons, racking up 55 appearances and over 4,000 minutes played, featuring at centre-back and right-back in the Bundesliga since 2016. Last season Upamecano helped RB Leipzig finish 3rd in the Bundesliga with the lowest 'Goals Conceded' in the league. He's also had experience playing in the Champions League, Europa League and at international level for France U21s. Standing at 6 feet tall Upamecano possesses a surprising speed at which he can recover from mistakes and hunt down opponents.
