The 530th CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post presents the outfield players not yet having turned 22 who most outperformed their teammates during the current or last completed season in 65 leagues around the world. The rankings were compiled using Impect data based on performance in eight game areas, as explained in this methodology note. The study highlights young talents whose performance level makes them eligible for transfers to more prestigious teams. Several of the footballers mentioned have in fact already been transferred. These notably include Nigerian Suleman Sani, (from AS Trenčín to RB Leipzig), Bulgarian Rosen Bozhinov (Antwerp to Pisa), Senegalese Massiré Sylla (Lyn FK to Union St-Gilloise), Ivorian Jocelin Ta Bi (Maccabi Netanya to Sunderland), Costa Rica’s Kenay Myrie (Saprissa to FC København), Morocco’s Gessime Yassine (Dunkerque to Strasbourg), etc. The three U22 footballers with the highest performance ratio compared to their teammates overall are France’s Joris Manquant (Stade Nyonnais), in the Swiss second division, Turkey’s Kenan Yildiz (Juventus) and Belgium’s Wout Asselman (Jong Gent). The three youngest players in the top 10 of a league are Mexico’s Gilberto Mora (Club Tijuana), Belgium’s Alexander De Ridder (RSCA Futures), and Brazil’s Zé Lucas (Sport Recife). >>> Full rankings >>> CIES Football Observatory methodology >>> More about Impect |
