Top 100 players in World Football under the age of 20


Well watching highlights of the South America U20 tournament group stage I thought I go through my database and try to list in my opinion the top 100 players in the World under the age of 20. 

According to the Database all players were born in 1993 or after and although I don't have a great amount of statistical data players are based on past performance for both club and country, completed transfers and speculation as well as potential market value. 

Players in Bold I have documented before as a prospect and you can find the players profile and career statistics in the search engine. As well a year ago I did top 100 under 20 lists for leagues in England, France, Italy, Germany, and Spain.
