Football Manager 2022: 10 English Wonderkids You Must Sign

10. Luke Mbete (Manchester City)

Since the list is limited to players aged 20 and under, a certain other Manchester City Englishman will not be included, but Luke Mbete definitely earns his spot.

Mbete is a skillful ball-playing centre-back who can fit into a number of different systems, with his strong left foot making him a great option as the left central defender in back-three formations. He is decently developed even at the start of the game but has the potential to become even better.

With a price estimated between £9.6 - 25 million, he is a relatively cheap option when it comes to prying players away from the Etihad, and with a long queue of defenders above him in the hierarchy, it should not be too difficult to persuade him to leave the Cityzens by offering him regular playing time.
