Pedri
The Barcelona man is already one of Spain’s leading players and he is not even out of his teenage years. He has also already demonstrated his ability to perform at international tournaments, being a standout in Spain’s Euro 2020. If he plays to his potential at Qatar, the sky is the limit for both him and his side.

Jude Bellingham
The former Birmingham player is considered one of the top players in Dortmund’s excellent side. With some of Europe’s biggest clubs now realising this, he may not be in Germany for much longer.
Jurgen Klopp is a known admirer, and he may be keen to get Bellingham before the World Cup, as a strong showing will increase his value dramatically.
-
Gavi
The second Spain star on our list, Gavi is another breakthrough player plying his trade in Barcelona. Making his debut against Italy in the Nations League, he impressed throughout and gained plaudits from Spain manager, Luis Enrique.
-
Jamal Musiala
The Bayern Munich star became the youngest ever player to play for the Bundesiga side. Considering some of the names that have come from that academy, that is a seriously impressive feat.
He played for England at underage level, but he has since decided that Germany is the team he wants to represent on the international stage.
-
Eduardo Camavinga
There are far worse ways to start your career than a goal on your debut for Real Madrid. That is just what the Frenchman did. Since then, Camavinga has been touted a future game winner for both club and country.
-
Pape Matar Sarr
The Metz midfielder is already one of Senegal’s standout players and he is only 19. vThe midfielder lit up the Ligue 1 last season, earning himself a move to Tottenham. He has since been loaned back to Metz and continues to impress.
-
Victor Osimhen
The Napoli striker is leading the line for his native Nigeria. He is doing an excellent job too, stepping up to the plate after a stellar underage career. Osimhen has been compared to Didier Drogba in the past and if he keeps on progressing, he may even reach the heights of his idol.
-
Cheick Doucoure
Malian midfielder Doucoure is another Ligue 1 starlet who is making waves on the international stage. The Malian midfielder will be hoping his nation make it to the tournament, so he can demonstrate his ability as a solid and dependable defensive midfielder.
He is playing in a role that players often mature into later in their career. However, Doucoure has already demonstrated his ability to anchor a midfield to good effect.
-
Ritsu Doan
After making the grade in his native Japan, Doan made the permanent move to Groningen. Now plying his trade at PSV, the 23-year-old looks ready to have a great World Cup.
Those are nine players we think can light up Qatar. Who would be your pick as the tenth young player to triumph at next year’s World Cup? Have we missed any player that you think will outshine all the above in Qatar 2022?
