CIES Football Observatory has presented the 10 best performing footballers born in the 2000s for each of the six areas of the game - duels, recovery, distribution, take-on, chance creation and shooting - using data from InStat.
Only the best performing players in 30 European Leagues outside the big five - La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and French Ligue 1 - have been included.
No player of Nigerian descent made the cut for duel, recovery and take-on for domestic league matches for the current season with the cut off set at December 7.
When it comes to shooting, PSV Eindhoven winger Nonso Madueke is the top player and he ranks number seven for chance creation.
The 18-year-old has been directly involved in 10 goals (5 goals, 5 assists) in all competitions for PSV this season.
In-demand IFK Göteborg central midfielder Alhassan Yusuf is sixth for distribution, behind Ryan Gravenberch (Ajax), Marcos Antônio (Shakhtar Donetsk), Nail Umyarov (Spartak Moscow), Mohamed Camara (RB Salzburg) and Antony dos Santos (Ajax).
Yusuf, 20, started 28 of the 30 matches played by Göteborg in the Swedish Allsvenskan in the 2020 season.
