The Stars of Tomorrow: Future Players to Watch at the U17 World Cup
Since the tournament began on Monday, the brightest young talents have been showcasing their skills at the U17 World Cup in Qatar. Over the coming weeks, these promising players will compete not only for the trophy but also for international recognition, using the event as a launchpad for potentially successful careers.
Transfermarkt, with the assistance of its global network, highlights the most promising young talents expected to shine in their home countries — these are the players to watch closely.
Promising Talents from Italy
Aniello Luciano, Content Manager Italy at Transfermarkt, notes: "Dortmund's Samuele Inácio was one of the standout players at the last U17 European Championship and is among Italy’s most promising attacking talents. However, there is another youngster in the Azzurrini squad worth watching: Destiny Elimoghale. The Juventus winger has already made his mark in the Primavera League and the Youth League. Despite being the youngest in the Italian squad, his potential makes him a valuable asset. He perfectly combines speed, intensity, technique, and tactical understanding. He could become a decisive factor for Daniele Franceschini’s team as a super-substitute."
Key Qualities to Watch
- Speed and intensity on the field
- Excellent technique and tactical awareness
- Ability to change the game as an impact substitute
This tournament is a crucial platform for emerging talents like Inácio and Elimoghale, who show great promise to become future stars.
