Goal are delighted to introduce our Top Five wonderkids to watch at the U-17 World Cup, which kicks off in Brazil on Saturday.
The likes of John Obi Mikel, Kelechi Iheanacho and Bertrand Traore all made their names at the tournament before going onto greater success in Europe, and now it's the turn of this quintet - and others - to steal the limelight at the age-grade tournament.
Wilson Ubani: Nigeria
The Golden Eaglets have produced plenty of tournament top scorers during their various successful U-17 World Cup campaigns, and Urban appears primed to be the top contender for the gong this time around.
He’s an ideal centre-forward, marrying efficiency and speed, and already demonstrated his goalscoring prowess during the U-17 Nations Cup.
He netted three times during that competition, but don’t be surprised if he beats that tally this time around.
Peter Olawale | Nigeria
Olawale is another attacking option for Nigeria who could be primed to follow Osimhen as the top scorer in the U-17 tournament.
He’s been nicknamed Nigeria’s Little Ronaldo for a reason, and keep an eye out for his aerial quality and speed in Brazil as the Golden Eaglets compete with Hungary, Ecuador and Australia.
