Eliesse Ben Seghir stands out as one of Ligue 1's brightest prospects. At just 20 years old, the Moroccan international has once again distinguished himself this season with consistent performances and impressive stats: six goals and three assists in the league.

Trained at AS Monaco’s Academy, Eliesse Ben Seghir has been nominated for the UNFP Trophies for the third consecutive year. The Moroccan international will be up against players such as Désiré Doué and João Neves from PSG.

Crackito, gem, golden boy, raw diamond... call them what you want, but these five have all the makings of GREATS 🙌
