10 Youngest Players Called Up For World Cup 2018

8. Ismaila Sarr (20) - Senegal

A highly talented young winger who made a big-money move to Ligue 1 team Rennes last summer, Sarr is one of Senegal's brightest young sparks, having scored two goals for the national team so far. At club level, he scored 5 goals in 22 starts and was one of his team's better attacking players.

Capable of playing on either wing or down the middle as a striker or second striker, Sarr spent a few months on the sidelines earlier this season but came back with style, scoring in three successive games as he helped Rennes into a Europa League place for the first time in several years.

Often compared to one of Rennes' former prodigies, Ousmane Dembélé, Sarr is blessed with pace, technical trickery, smart dribbling skills and two good feet. He's a highly versatile player, capable of scoring some outrageous goals, and the World Cup could be the perfect stage for him to announce his talents to a global audience.
