4) Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan)
The Argentine has been one of the few shining lights in an otherwise miserable season for Inter Milan. While his team sit just tenth in the league table, Icardi has been in fine form, scoring 15 goals in all competitions. Still only 22, his huge potential is ripe for the picking.
3) Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)
By far and away the highest rated young player in the world, the 20-year-old has been hesitant over whether or not to sign a new contract, and European Champions Real Madrid are poised to swoop. While it remains unlikely that he’ll leave Liverpool, Madrid aren’t known for taking no for an answer.
