Dele Alli

Dele Alli has become one of the most talented and exciting youngsters in English football.

At just 19 years old he has earned a call-up to Roy Hodgson's England squad. He has played for England at under 17,18,19 and with the under 21 team.

He made a name for himself at MK Dons in League One. He played a total of 88 games for The Dons scoring 24 goals. Last season was a breakout season for Alli as he scored 16 league goals and led MK Dons to automatic promotion to The Championship.

He signed a five-and-a half-year deal with Tottenham in February but only joined the team in the Summer. The Spurs faithful have already taken to Alli as they roared their approval when he came on as a substitute in their Capital One Cup game against Arsenal.

Alli is a box to box midfielder and he has already shown that he can get on the scoresheet on a regular basis. He is a tall and skinny looking player but he possesses great skill and control. He is fearless and direct and has shown great ability to show he belongs in the top flight.

Being a Liverpool fan growing up his favourite player was Steven Gerrard and you can see similarities in his play. Having made just 5 appearances for Tottenham so far Mauricio Pochettino is taking it step by step with the young midfielder but his impact on the field may mean he plays a big role for Spurs this season both in the Premier League and the Europa League.

Paulo Dybala

During the Summer Juventus forked out €32 million to Palermo to gain the services of the 21 year old Argentinian, Paulo Dybala.

That is a lot of money to be paying for someone so young but when you look at Anthony Martial going to Manchester United for €48 million maybe it's not.

Before joining Juventus Dybala played four seasons of professional football in Argentina and in Italy with Palermo.

The 2014-15 season was a breakout season for Dybala. In 34 appearances for Palermo he netted 13 times and created 10 assists. During the last season he showcased his pace, dribbling, technical ability and his creativity to earn him a move to the Italian champions.

With Carlos Tevez and Andrea Pirlo both leaving the club this Summer the Italian side will be hoping Dybala can come in and replace the creativity that left.

Since joining Juventus he has shown that he is capable of playing in any attacking position and has scored 2 goals in his first 5 games for the club.

Dybala is heading in the right direction and with continued success at Juventus the world may soon recognise him as one of the best and most exciting players in Europe.

Youri Tielemans

Youri Tielemans is widely regarded as one of Europe's biggest emerging talents.

Tielemans is the next potential Belgian star in what is already turning into a golden era for Belgian football with the likes of Vincent Kompany, Thibaut Courtouis, Eden Hazard and many more developing into superstars already.

Despite being just 18 years old Tielemans has already won Belgian young professional of the year on two occasions. He also holds the record for being the youngest Belgian footballer to play in the Champions League making his first appearance at the age of 16 years and 148 days.

An incredibly sure-footed player, Tielemans is confident and assured on the ball and would remind you of Bastian Schweinsteiger's playing style where the simple ball is almost always the best ball. And just like Schweinsteiger he can spray balls with his right or left foot across the pitch with ease.

The young midfielder is a box to box type of player with an ability to snuff out attacks by simply positioning himself well and applying the right amount of pressure. While on the other end of the pitch he picks his moments to join the attack and possesses composure in the final third.

In his first two seasons at Anderlecht he played in 87 games and scored 10 goals. This season he has started off on goalscoring form scoring 3 in the first 6 games.

As always with young hot prospects Tielemans has been linked to big European clubs but there is nothing but paper talk at the moment so the young starlet who extended his contract at the end of last season will remain at Anderlecht for the foreseeable future.

Bobby Adekanye

Liverpool have just completed the signing of 16 year old Bobby Adekanye.

The Nigerian born winger played as a child in the Ajax youth academy and then moved to Barcelona in 2011. He was one of the five transfers that were banned from playing for the club over claims that they were signed illegally. As a result he played last year for PSV on loan.

Adekanye is a left-footed winger that has a similar style of play to that of Arjen Robben. He is very left sided but he still has the pace and quick feet to beat his opponents even in times where his next move seems predictable.

Ajax wanted to bring the 16 year old back to Holland for at least another year loan but Adekanye announced on his Instagram that he will be moving to Liverpool. He said that he is tired of being moved around on loan and is happy to be at Liverpool.

Martin Ødegaard

The Norwegian wonderkid looks set to make a dream move to Spanish giants Real Madrid just a month after turning 16.

A whole host of clubs have expressed their interest in the youngster including Premier League rivals Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Southampton as well as Bayern Munich. However after Ødegaard was spotted watching a game at the Vicente Calderón Stadium, it appears he is on his way to Madrid.

Ødegaard was quickly  thrust into the spotlight after he became the youngest player to play in the Tippeligaen, the youngest player to score in the Tippeligaen and then the youngest player to feature in a qualifier for the UEFA European Championship, all at the age of 15.

Ødegaard has been highly thought of by his current club Stromsgodset IF for quite some time now. He began training with the first team in 2012 and in 2014 he fully merged with the first team squad signing his first professional contract. 

In his first full season with Stromsgodset he played 24 times and scored 5 goals along with more assists helping them to fourth spot in the league and qualification to the 2015-16 Europa League qualifying phase. Having also made 3 appearances for the Norwegian national team there is no surprise that people are saying he is the future of Norwegian football. 

His playing style is very similar to that of Juan Mata's only it appears that Ødegaard has a bit more pace about him. He can play on either wing but his preferred position is in the number 10 spot behind the striker. He has fantastic close control and his first touch is something he has obviously worked on. Having said that he has exceptional natural ability. Former Blackburn Rovers player and Ødegaard's international teammate Morten Gamst Pederson said "For his age he is unbelievable and his technical skills are fantastic".

Ødegaard's footwork around the box, his vision and skill to play through-balls behind the defence and his quick bursts of speed into the box made him hot property in Europe. After Real Madrid said that he would be involved in the first team, it is likely that he will be getting the best help in mastering his skills. A little advice from the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo certainly would do no harm.

Alexandre Lacazette

In-form Lacazette

Is Alexandre Lacazette the real deal or is this seasons goalscoring form an aberration.

At the half way mark in the season Lacazette has scored 20 goals in 25 games for French club Lyon. Only Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored as many goals as him at this stage in the last 30 years of French football. That's not bad company to be in.

Lacazette has shown real promise since the 2011-12 Ligue 1 season when he became a regular in the side. Now at the age of 23 it looks as though he is finally showing his full potential. Now he is receiving interest from some of the Premier League's top teams.

President of Lyon Jean-Michel Aulas has said on many occasions that Lacazette will not be leaving in January but he knows he will not be able to keep him in Summer if he continues to play as he is. That is the key for Lacazette. For him to get a big move this year he needs to keep scoring goals and putting in consistent performances. If his performance levels drop once the second half of the season gets under way in France then interest in the striker may not be so high.

It is likely that Alexandre is going to end up in the Premier League this offseason and teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City have sent scouts to France to observe Lacazette. Arsenal are looking for a consistent striker who will score goals on a regular basis but Man City seem to be in pole position for the striker. Manuel Pellegrini has decided to make Alvaro Negredo's loan spell to Valencia permanent and there is also rumours emerging that Stevan Jovetic is on his way to Juventus. Pellegrini has already secured the services of Wilfried Bony and is hoping to add a second striker to his transfer signings. There is also interest in France from PSG, the only French club that would be able to afford him.
