Talent Radar
U-22 Young Players Team of the Season 2017-18
For the fifth season running, the Talent Radar Awards recognise the best individuals across Europe’s top leagues across seven primary categories.
[Eligibility: As of 1st June 2017 – 21 years old and below for outfield players // 22 years old and below for goalkeepers]
The team sees a strong defensive spine with Pavard and Lenglet manning the middle, in front of the excellent Strakosha. The likes of Sane, Lozano, and Torreira have been among the best players in their leagues, each winning the title back home. Liverpool favourite Trent Alexander-Arnold takes his spot at right back after some thrilling performances in the Champions League. NAC Breda’s Angelino is a surprise inclusion. Aouar and Ruiz rightly make their claim in midfield too while the excellent Leon Bailey is on the right wing.
