  50Pablo Moreno | Juventus

  Juventus shirts are now being spotted on the streets of Granada, and not because of Cristiano Ronaldo. 

  Local hero Pablo Moreno has yet to debut for the Bianconeri but the prolific forward, who is capable of playing in pretty much every conceivable attacking role, is expected to achieve great things in Turin.

  The 17-year-old, who scored more than 200 goals at under-age level for Barcelona, has already featured for Juve's Under-23s and was on the bench for a Coppa Italia game last year.

  49Luqman Hakim | Selangor

  A pocket-rocket of a forward with quick feet, Luqman Hakim has already turned out for Malaysia's Under-23s even though he only turned 18 earlier in March. 

  The forward was expected to join Vincent Tan-owned Belgian outfit K.V. Kortrijk, but the Covid-19 crisis put his move on hold for the time being, with the youngster joining Selangor instead for now.

  48Luca Unbehaun | Borussia Dortmund

  Having come through the youth team ranks at Bochum, Luca Unbehaun was snapped up by Borussia Dortmund in 2016 when he was still only 15 years of age. 

  The Germany Under-18 international has yet to make his first appearance at senior level at Signal Iduna Park but he has established himself as a regular for BVB's UEFA Youth League team and it should only be a matter of time before one of the country's most promising goalkeepers is given a chance by Lucien Favre.

  47Naci Unuvar | Ajax

  Naci Unuvar certainly does not lack belief. Even though Klaas-Jan Huntelaar was on spot-kick duty in Ajax's KNVB Beker clash with Spakenburg in January, the 16-year-old asked the veteran forward if he could take a late penalty.

  Unuvar converted with aplomb and, thus, became the youngest goalscorer in the Amsterdam outfit's history, taking the record away from Clarence Seedorf.

  Ajax's only problem now will be holding on to the Netherlands Under-18 international, who has already been scouted by the likes of Barcelona.
