#3 Houssem Aouar (Lyon)
Position: Midfielder
Nationality: French
Age: 20
Market Value: €40 million
Houssem Aouar was a promising young play-maker before he lined up for Lyon against Manchester City in the Champions League. After the two games against the English champions, he had his market value doubled, and was suddenly the midfielder every club wanted at all costs. There was good reason behind the same, though, since the current City side is one of the best in recent football history, and to be able to impress against such a team is no mean feat. Certainly not when you are just 20!
Alongside another French youth sensation Tanguy N'Dombele, Aouar moved the ball around with supreme confidence, spraying one pass after another, whilst carrying the ball forward expertly. His perfect performance left Josep Guardiola raving, and it is speculated that a massive bid from City might be on the cards.
