The Next-Generation of Superstars: Young Footballers with a Promising Future

James Overy

Despite being barely 17, James Overy’s star is already shining and showing clear signs of becoming brighter in years to come. Born in Australia, Overy caught the attention of football lovers when he started playing with Perth Glory, an Australian A-league club. That was in 2023 while he was 15. A year later, the young footballer received a scholarship deal from Manchester United and accepted it without hesitation.

James Overy joined the Red Devils on September 19, 2024. He’s considered a right-back player who can push forward. He is expected to set an impressive record in the club’s under-21 squad alongside other noteworthy players like Samuel Lusale.

Chido Obi-Martin

Chido Obi-Martin is yet another starlet who recently joined Old Trafford. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, to a Nigerian father and a Danish mother. The 16-year-old is expected to grow into a formidable goal-scoring machine like Paul Pogba, Christiano Ronaldo, and Messi. But he has not shown the world what he can do since he is young and still polishing his skills.

Before signing up with Manchester United, Chido Obi-Martin was involved with Arsenal. While with his earlier club, Obi-Martin’s was spectacular, courtesy of his outstanding skills and 6’2 height, which gave him an immense physical advantage. In the previous season alone, Chido scored 32 goals while playing for Arsenal’s U18s.

Chris Rigg

Dubbed a wunderkind at a relatively young age, Chris Rigg is an English footballer currently involved with Sunderland AFC. He was born in Hebburn, UK, on 8th June 2007, meaning he recently hit 17. Rigg joined Sunderland AFC in 2023 and was benched multiple times before catching Tony Mowbray’s attention. The starlet touched the back of the net for Sunderland while his team played against Crewe Alexandra.

As of 2024, Chris Rigg is a midfielder for Sunderland AFC and is considered the second youngest player to ever play for the club. In addition to playing for Sunderland, Chris Rigg is involved with England’s U-18s, where he is the captain.

Evan Ferguson

Evan Ferguson was born on 19th October 2004. He comes from Bettystown, Ireland, and is the son of Barry Ferguson. Barry, Evan’s father, is a former professional footballer who played for multiple clubs, from Bohemians and Coventry City to Hartlepool United and Shamrock Rovers. The starlet’s promising football career started at St Kevin’s Boys, a prestigious schoolboy club in Dublin, Ireland.

This 20-year-old center-forward is currently on Brighton & Hove Albion’s squad. He has scored over 10 goals in the Premier League since 2023, which is quite impressive. As of 2024, many mighty teams, including Chelsea, have shown interest in this rising star.
