The 50 Best Wonderkids In World Football Right Now Have Been Named And Ranked

Barcelona starlet Ansu Fati has been named the top wonderkid in world football right now ahead of Eduardo Camavinga, Gio Reyna and club teammate Pedri.

The 18-year-old Spaniard has become one of the most exciting prospects in world football after breaking into the Barcelona first team in 2019.

Fati, who played at youth level for Sevilla and Herrera, came through Barcelona's famed La Masia and has scored five times and registered four assists in 10 appearances this season.

The Barca player has already established himself as the Spanish club's youngest-ever goalscorer in La Liga and the Champions League's youngest-ever scorer.

Fati, who has been linked with Manchester United, has also been capped for Spain and became the national team's youngest-ever goalscorer.

Goal has named the Spain international top of the pile when it comes to wonderkids, saying his 'electric pace, supreme confidence and skills' make him the "ideal modern winger."

Rennes' Camavinga and Borussia Dortmund's Gio Reyna finished second and third respectively, while Barcelona's Pedri came fourth and Dortmund's Jude Bellingham ranked fifth.

Players from the Premier League managed to crack the top 20 as Wolves starlet Fabio Silva and United wonderkid Amad Diallo finished 17th and 19th respectively.
