Regarded as one of the best young talents in the world, Erling Braut Haaland has been termed by many as a future Ballon d'Or winner.

After a phenomenal season with Red Bull Salzburg, Haaland moved to Borussia Dortmund this January for €20 million. He immediately made an impact with the Bundesliga giants, ousting Paco Alcacer from the first-team and becoming the preferred no.9 for Lucien Favre. Alcacer eventually left for Villarreal.

His performances for Dortmund since joining them have been nothing short of exceptional. The 20-year old played 15 league games for his club, scoring 13 goals and providing two assists. Robert Lewandowski will have tough competition next season.

The Norway international was heavily linked with Manchester United before moving to Dortmund. United are still tracking him, while the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City have been touted as potential destinations.


#1 LAUTARO MARTINEZ, INTER MILAN

While this is unlikely to happen, Lautaro Martinez seems like the perfect replacement for Sergio Aguero.

Another highly-rated young player, Martinez has been in fine form for Inter Milan, dovetailing well with fellow forward Romelu Lukaku. Barcelona are the favourites to sign the 22-year old, and have already begun negotiations with Inter Milan. It has been suggested that Martinez wants to move to Barcelona as well.

The Argentina international made 34 appearances for Antonio Conte's side, scoring 14 goals and providing three assists. A good header of the ball with good dribbling ability, Martinez looks destined for the top.

Barcelona are the favourites for his signature, but Manchester City have been linked in the past as well.
