Women's FIFA World Cup: 10 Players To Look Out For

By Liam Newman /

10. Ada Hegerberg (Norway)

Back when the official tournament first started in the 1990s, Norway were an international powerhouse. While they are no longer at that standard, they remain a very handy outfit capable of beating most teams on their day and Ada Hegerberg could be the girl ready to spearhead a new generation for the Gresshoppene. Hegerberg was brilliant in a first season in France, scoring over one goal a game as she helped fire Lyon to yet another domestic title. This, combined with a promising start to her international career, suggests the 19-year-old could be in for a very bright future. She has already opened her scoring account at major tournaments, netting in the quarter-final win over Spain as Norway made their way to a shock final appearance in Sweden. Maybe, just maybe, this sensational youngster can help Even Pellerud€™s side go one better this summer. Even if they don€™t, the young striker could be one of the tournament€™s emerging starlets.
