#4 Lucas Tousart (Lyon, France)
Lyon have been renowned for producing quality young players in recent years, and Lucas Tousart is the latest off the production line. With Corentin Tolisso set to leave the club in the summer, the ball-winning midfielder, whose energy has led him to be likened to N’Golo Kante, has been groomed for first-team duties.
He is not yet as dynamic or as complete as Tolisso, but he has been solid at the base of their midfield and is surprisingly capable in the air given his height. With Kylian Mbappe left at home this summer, Tousart will be expected to lead a solid France side that also includes the likes of Alban Lafont in goal, Issa Diop in defence and Paris Saint-Germain striker Jean-Kevin Augustin leading the line.
