10 Early Favourites For World Cup 2018 Best Young Player Award

10. Kasper Dolberg (Denmark)

Considered one of Denmark's most promising young players, Kasper Dolberg is just 20 years old but has already proven to be a very impressive forward with a lot of talent, and he bagged his first goal for Denmark in a World Cup qualifying match last year.

The young attacker's main strengths are his technical dribbling skills and good quality finishing, and he currently plays for Ajax, a team well-known for nurturing some of football's most gifted youngsters. This season, he netted 6 times in 21 league appearances, but he was even more impressive in the 2016-17 season, when he scored 16 goals in the Eredivisie and 7 more in European competition.

Denmark don't have any truly accomplished out-and-out strikers, so it's possible that Dolberg will get a chance to shine at the tournament and could be a breakout star. His team find themselves in a group with France, Peru, and Australia, and will have their eyes on the second-place spot. If Dolberg gets some game time, he's got all the raw talent he needs to have a great World Cup.
