Son Heung Min – South Korea
Age: 21
Caps: 26
Goals: 7
South Korea may not have had a good tournament, but Son was the one player that stood out from a disappointing campaign. Scoring one of the country’s three goals, he showed that he has the necessary class to succeed at international level and will be looking forward to tearing up the Bundesliga (and the Champions League) for Bayer Leverkusen this season.
Divock Origi – Belgium
Age: 19
Caps: 7
Goals: 1
One of the most exciting players in an exciting squad that failed to live up to expectations was the little known teenager from Lille. Origi burst on to the scene against Russia in the group stage where he rescued a drab game by netting the only goal to give them all three points. He them kept Romelu Lukaku on the bench until the latter stages and looks set to be rewarded for his efforts by heading to Liverpool.
