Five U21 gems we can’t wait to see in action 🤩

In a few weeks, the European championships will resume and it will be an opportunity for new players to reveal themselves to the general public.

Some seem ready to set the football world on fire. We therefore propose the five gems playing outside of Ligue 1 that we can’t wait to see in action.

He’s THE gem of the moment and yes, you read correctly, he’s only 15 years old. Already announced as a future great in the Gunners’ youth categories, the left-footer shone with his astonishing ease during the pre-season friendly match against Newcastle.

Already dazzling at the U17 Euro, where he gave all the tournament’s defenses a run for their money, the young Englishman is destined to make his professional debut this season.

Between Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Max Dowman, Arsenal has become a real gem factory.

He is one of those who stirred up the early transfer window and Real fans have only one desire, to see him in action.

A fine technician with his left foot and lethal on free kicks, the Argentine ticks all the boxes of a thrill player. Now it remains to be seen how he will adapt to the highest level and when Xabi Alonso will be ready to throw him in at the deep end.

Sporting wasted no time in replacing Viktor Gyökeres and did not hesitate to give his number 9 to Conrad Harder, their Danish gem.

Used to playing parts of matches last season in Liga Portugal, the 20-year-old striker managed to finish the season with five goals and five assists.

Freed from the presence of the Swedish giant, who left for Arsenal, Harder will have plenty of time to lead Sporting’s attack.

Among the army of young players recruited by the Blues, Estevao stands out as the main attraction. The young Brazilian dazzled South America last season with his left foot.

While he will have to deal with competition from players like Pedro Neto, Jamie Gittens and Cole Palmer, the young winger should still manage to make his mark in a year when the schedule looks busy for the Blues.

In the Bellingham family, I’d like the little brother. Less exposed than his elder, Jobe has started to make a lot of noise this season.

After a superb season with Sunderland, which ended with a promotion to the Premier League, the young midfielder made the big leap to join Dortmund… like Jude.

We can’t wait to see if he will follow the same trajectory as his brother.
