With a new season of top European football on the horizon, who are the biggest talents ready to shake up the 2024/2025 season?

17-year-old Lamine Yamal is already a world superstar after a breakout year for FC Barcelona and helping lead Spain to European Championship glory in July. The teenager is elite in tight situations and has explosive speed.

Transfermarkt reports Yamal scored five goals and created five assists last season for Barcelona and provided four assists in Spain's Euros run. The teenager is already indispensable and draws plenty of comparisons to Lionel Messi.

After scoring 165 goals in 169 games for Palmeiras' youth teams, becoming Brazil's youngest star since Ronaldo in 1994, and joining Real Madrid before the age of 18, who knows where the footballing career of Endrick will finish.

The way he strikes the ball, his first touch, and the brilliance to create a chance out of nothing are all factors in why Real Madrid splashed the cash on the Brazilian phenom. With Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, and Kylian Mbappe around him, he is someone to watch for.

At the 2024 Euros, Arda Guler put the world on notice after some exceptional performances for Turkey and a goal for the European Championships Hall of Fame. The 19-year-old has a left foot that raises people off their seats, and he's only going to get better.

Of course, Guler is going to have some serious competition to play in this Real Madrid team, so a loan may be good for his development this season. FourFourTwo reports Guler played 12 times for Madrid last season and scored in half of them.

PSG's Warren Zaire-Emery is wise beyond his years in central midfield, finding space where there is none and having the ability to withstand and break a press at 18.

With Kylian Mbappe gone, Zaire-Emery could become the new focal point to build around at PSG. The midfielder is homegrown and has an incredible talent that can decide games in different ways.

Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo has had a rise like no other in European football in 2024, becoming one of Manchester United's and England's most influential figures in midfield. It's easy to forget that Mainoo didn't start his first game until November 2023.

It's scary to think this is Mainoo's first full season in professional football because of how good he is already. At 18, Mainoo is composed, intelligent, and has become a goal threat for United. He is the real deal and will continue to skyrocket this season.
