Spanish newspaper Marca have had a look into their crystal balls to predict who will be the biggest young stars of European football in a few years, and they reckon English football has its fair share of talent coming through.
Three Premier League players have made the XI, led by Liverpool defender Joe Gomez, who arrived at Anfield last summer and looked extremely assured while playing out of position before a knee injury ended his first season on Merseyside.
Gomez is partnered in defence by West Ham youngster Reece Oxford, who has also impressed in limited game-time this season, while Chelsea prospect Dom Solanke is named up front, where he is supported by Monaco's new record youngest scorer Kylian Mbappe and Norway and Real Madrid star Martin Odegaard.

The youngest member of the squad is 16-year-old AC Milan goalkeeping sensation Gianluigi Donnarumma.
