First thing to remember in our analysis is that we evaluate all the Best Young Talents in Europe: players who are U21 and playing in the Top 7 European Leagues 2024/25. In other words, we evaluate and filter the Best Young Players in Europe in some metrics.

🥉 Rayan Cherki – Lyon (0.50)
In terms of the Best Young Talents in Europe, Andrey Santos is the clear star. Despite being a Midfielder, the Strasbourg Player has been the Most Clinical U21 Player in Front of Goal. In addition to Andrey Santos, we can see more players with great performances: Jhon Durán has almost one goal per 4 shots, a great number that even earned him a transfer to Al Nassr. Lucas Stassin, on the other hand, is a very underrated player. With a goal every two attempts on goal (and a goal almost every 4 shots), Stassin has shown a lot of quality in a side battling against relegation. Finally, I’d like to highlight Cherki, the French talent from Lyon who is, once again, in the spotlight when it comes to Young Talents in Europe.
