These eleven teenagers are tearing up Europe but aren’t yet at major clubs. They could be the ideal signings for Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton and Manchester United this summer.
Luke Shaw (Southampton)
Age: 18
Position: Left back
There is a reason that Luke Shaw is the subject of transfer rumours linking him with some of the biggest teams in Europe, and that is that at the age of 18 he has already had two excellent seasons in the Premier League at left back.
The Saints star has shown signs of greatness both defensively and going forward, and having won his first England cap recently could well be Ashley Cole’s long term successor in the Three Lions side.
Would be the ideal signing for: Manchester United. Long term successor to Patrice Evra required.
