10 Players You’ve Never Heard Of Who Could Star At World Cup 2018

10. Daniel Arzani (Australia)

At just 19 years of age, Daniel Arzani will be the youngest player at this summer's World Cup. That alone is a great reason for fans to keep an eye on him, but he's got a whole lot of talent too and could be one of the tournament's most exciting young stars.

During the latest domestic season, Iranian-born Arzani was one of his team's most dynamic players, creating a huge number of scoring chances for his teammates, as well as contributing with two goals and three assists of his own in 18 appearances. He was the A-League's leading dribbler and is regarded as an exciting X factor for the Socceroos.

He won't necessarily be starting his team's first group game, but we can expect to see him being used as an impact sub, with his pace and trickery giving Australia some exciting options if ever they need to turn the tide of a game or score a late goal. Right now, Arzani is a real unknown, but he has all the potential to follow in the footsteps of fellow national team icon, Tim Cahill.
