Since Monday, the U17 World Cup has been showcasing the most talented young footballers. Over the coming weeks in Qatar, these rising stars will compete not only for the trophy but to step into the international spotlight and launch their professional careers.
Transfermarkt, with the support of its international network, highlights the most promising players expected to shine in their home countries—young talents worth following closely.
Notable Talents from Italy
"Dortmund's Samuele Inácio was already one of the outstanding players at the last U17 European Championship and is one of the most promising attacking talents in Italy - but there is another youngster in the Azzurrini ranks who is worth keeping an eye on: Destiny Elimoghale. The Juventus winger, who has already made his mark in the Primavera League and the Youth League, is the youngest player in the Italian squad, but his potential already makes him a valuable addition. He perfectly combines speed, intensity, technique and tactical understanding. He could become the decisive factor for Daniele Franceschini's team as a super-sub."

Destiny Elimoghale stands out for his blend of speed, skill, and tactical awareness. Though the youngest in the Italian squad, his impact in the Primavera and Youth Leagues signals a bright footballing future.
Samuele Inácio remains a key player to watch, having impressed at the U17 European Championship and continuing to attract attention as a top Italian attacking talent.
These young stars exemplify the exceptional potential on display at the tournament, making the U17 World Cup an exciting stage for football's next generation.
Summary: The U17 World Cup in Qatar highlights emerging talents like Italy's Destiny Elimoghale and Samuele Inácio, who combine skill and promise to shape the future of international football.
