So they convinced this young winger to move to Turin from boyhood club Ullensaker/Kisa, for whom the kid has played in the country’s second-tier at the age of just 16.Jesus Hernandez (Mexico) – This striker is already looking at home playing against much older and more experienced players in Liga MX, his country’s top-tier league. He’s good with the ball, able to spot his teammates, pass and score. He’ll soon be a full Mexico international – there is no doubt about it!Karim Konate (Ivory Coast) – Playing for his boyhood team ASEC Mimosas, the 17-year-old from Abidjan is modelling himself after the great Karim Benzema. After already playing for the Elephants, who are we to say that being the new Benzema is out of Karim’s grasp?Friday, 16.00: (7.75) Malawi (4.20) Ivory Coast (1.40)Sergey Pinyaev (Russia) – According to a Manchester United coach report, Sergey is “the brightest player who has come to the club for a trial over the past 15 years”. The only reason this Krilya Sovetov winger is not a Manchester United player is that he was too young to make the switch to England. He’s a definite star of the future.Youssoufa Moukoko (Germany) – Borussia Dortmund is a great place for young players. They get supreme coaching and are given a chance to shine in the first team quickly. Moukoko is the youngest to play in the Bundesliga at 16 years and one day, the youngest player to appear in the Champions League 17 days later, youngest goalscorer in Bundesliga 11 days after that.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Savinho (Brazil) – This is a left-winger who wants to bring a bit of fun and flair to the game. His idol is the legendary Ronaldinho. If he continues to develop and break records in the Brazilian championship, he could even come close to emulating his hero.These are just some of the most exciting 17-year-old prospects.
