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

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.
