Who is the best young footballer in the world?

#9 Timo Werner

Napoli v RB Leipzig - UEFA Europa League
Timo Werner - RB Leipzig

Age: 22

Market Value: €60 million

Club: RB Leipzig

Having played a vital role in the incredible rise of RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga and led the German line during the summer's World Cup, Timo Werner is on a rapid rise to becoming one of the best strikers on the planet.

At just 22 years old, he has made 19 appearances for Germany, scoring eight times. He was also the youngest player to ever play and score for VfB Stuttgart before moving to RB Leipzig, where he became the youngest player to ever reach 100 and 150 Bundesliga appearances.

While the German remains with RB Leipzig this season, it would come as a huge shock if he didn't move to Bayern Munich or another European giant next term. He has already netted 34 times in 64 appearances for last season's Europa League quarter-finalists and is sure to add to that tally this year.

The future is bright for Werner and if he maintains his goalscoring record there is little doubt his name will crop up when considering future Ballon d'Or winners.
