84. Franck Tabanou (Toulouse)
The left-sided attacking midfielder is currently one of Ligue One's hottest properties. A product of the famous Le Harve academy system, the 21 year-old is currently being watched by a number of European clubs. West Ham, Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint Germain are all known to be keeping tabs on him and they will all be well aware that his contract is due to expire in the summer. Tabanou is neither a tall or powerful player, but his skill more than compensates. Highly versatile he can also operate at full-back. Having began his career at Toulouse in 2006, he was promoted to the first team in 2009 and made his debut on 2 May 2009 against Marseille in the Ligue 1. During the 2009/10 season, Tabanou became a regular in the side and has scored 4 goals in 30 appearances. Tabanou has pace, good range of passing and an eye for goal. Tabanou is widely expected to move on and it would be no surprise to see him playing on the English shores somewhere.

87. Stephan El Shaarawy (Genoa)

Described as the Italian Kaka, El Shaarawy is an attacking midfielder who is of Egyptian decent. Already an international regular at youth level, he has scored 6 goals in 16 games for Italy's Under-17s and now turns out for the Under-20s. His rising reputation continued to build at the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria. With excellent technique, El Shaarawy has pace and the ability to unlock opposing teams with his vision and range of passing. Currently playing for Genoa he has made three appearances for the first team and has already attracted interest from Arsenal and Real Madrid. Genoa who are intent on keeping the precociously talented player may look to loan him out next season in order to gain first team experience. He is widely regarded as the future of Italian football and he made his debut for Genoa aged just 16 years of age against the 21st December 2008 against Chievo as a second half substitute.

88. Luis Gil (Real Salt Lake)

Described as the next big thing from the United States, some go as far to claiming he is the best talent ever to emerge from the country. The gifted playmaker has been described as the American Cesc Fabregas and has already rebuffed a number of offers from the worlds biggest clubs to sign with Major League soccer. Technically gifted, the midfielder possesses excellent vision and composure. He first came to the attention at the Fifa Under-17 World Cup in Nigeria, where he was not only the United States youngest player but also their best player. Now a key part of the Under-18 team that will form the U20 side that will compete at the 2011 Fifa U-20 World Cup in Colombia, Gill can confirm his emerging reputation in the game. At just 17 years-old, Gil currently plays for Real Salt Lake but is widely tipped to join Arsenal when he turns 18 after already impressing at a trial for the North London club around players much older than him.

89. Walter (Internacional)

With a rich history of producing some of the greatest strikers in the world, Walter Henrique da Silva is expected to be the next superstar from Brazil. The 20 year-old Internacional striker who can also operate on the right wing has continued to impress for club and country at international youth level. Already on the radar of a number of European clubs such as Juventus, Barcelona and Manchester United, several scouts were sent to the Under 20 South American Championships to monitor the youngster and were not left disappointed. He ended up as the tournaments top scorer with 5 goals, including a spectacular long-range effort against Paraguay. With devastating finishing ability and intelligent movement, Walter is expected to follow former team mate Pato to one of Europe’s top sides after a number of impressive performances. Helping his side in to the Copa Libertadores, Walter looks to have all the attributes needed to make it to the top.

90. Joaquín Boghossian (Newell Old Boys)

The prolific target man who boats an outstanding ariel game and excellent goal scoring record is current making headlines in Argentina for Newell Old Boys. Replacing fans favourite Oscar Cardozo who moved to Benfica, Boghossian finished top scorer in first season, helping his side to finish runner-up in the 2009 Apertura and earning qualification for the Copa Libertadores. With 17 goals in 32 games for the Argentine outfit, people are calling for Boghossian to be called up to the senior Uruguay national side but with likes of Diego Forlan, Luis Suarez and Edison Cavani
ahead of him it won't be easy. It remains to be seen where Boghossian's future lies as there is already talk of a move to Europe. Standing at 6ft 5 inches, Boghossian's physical characteristics mean he has an excellent ariel game which allows him to hold up the ball and create space for his strike partners. Though he lacks pace, he has excellent positioning and awareness and has played for the Uruguay Under-20 national side.
