35. Florian Thauvin (Lille)
The Lille youngster has put himself on the radar of Premier League clubs Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle with his displays on loan at Bastia this season. The 20-year-old has scored 10 goals from midfield in Ligue 1 this year and Lille will struggle to hold on to the France Under-20 international.
34. Son Heung-Min (Hamburg)
The 20-year-old forward has alerted Arsenal and Tottenham with his performances for Hamburg this season. The versatile attacker can play in a number of positions upfront, and is a hard-worker tracking back as well, earning him a reputation as one of the best young players in the Bundesliga – certainly no mean feat. He already has 13 caps for the South Korea national team.
33. Hector Bellerin (Arsenal)
This product of the Barcelona youth system was snapped up by Arsenal two years ago, and could follow in the steps of Cesc Fabregas in making a name for himself in the Premier League. The Spanish winger is another stand-out performer in the club’s youth team with his pace and skill, and will surely feature in Arsene Wenger’s Capital One Cup squads soon enough.
32. Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)
Raheem Sterling has been thrust into the first team by Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, and has shown enough quality to be a star player for the Reds when he matures. Still raw and in need of experience, the 18-year-old possesses great natural ability and has already been called up to the senior England team.
31. David Alaba (Bayern Munich)
The 20-year-old left-back has not looked at all out of place in Bayern Munich’s star-studded all-conquering team this season, looking solid defensively and useful going forward. The youngster has had a great start to his career, and has already been a full Austrian international for the last four years.
