Nicolas Isimat-Mirin
7. Nicolas Isimat-Mirin
Age: 21 years old
Club: AS Monaco
Nationality: French
Position: Centre Back
Despite his young age, Nicolas Isimat-Mirin has loads of experience at professional level making over 80 first team appearances at his previous club, Valenciennes. The 21-year-old has been linked with some top European clubs, Liverpool most notably. As Monaco’s big money revolution took seed this summer, Isimat-Mirin was a rare young signing made (along with Anthony Martial) as Monaco look to add to their young talents. Manager Ranieri, would have identified the defenders obvious talents, and one can expect much from the Frenchman.

Jordan Ayew
6. Jordan Ayew
Age: 21 years old
Club: Marsellie
Nationality: Ghanaian
Position: Striker
Jordan Ayew is from a rich football background, with nearly his entire family involved in football professionally. The 21-year-old has been around for quite sometime but is often ignored by the football fraternity. He has already notched up over a 100 appearances for both club & country. Still living in the shadows of his brother Andre in the Marsellie squad, the Ghanaian will be hoping Elie Baup gives him a more regular role in the first-team squad.
Kurt Zouma
5. Kurt Zouma
Age: 18 years old
Club: Saint Etienne
Nationality: French
Position: Centre Back
Kurt Zouma has been one of the most sought after Ligue 1 players in 2013, with clubs like Manchester United being linked with the 18-year-old. He however has (so far) stayed in France, having already cemented his place in the Saint Etienne first team. A move, however, to a bigger European side is imminent. It’s set to be an intriguing campaign for Les Verts having lost their main man Aubameyang in the summer. Needless to say, Zouma is set to play an important role as Saint Etienne look to maintain their challenge for European spots.
