Every week BBC Football Daily Euro Leagues the podcast panel will select a promising "wunderkind" on which to focus. This week our topic is …
Houssem Aouar
The 20-year-old offensive midfielder from Lyon certainly caught the eye in Tuesday's 2-2 draw against Manchester City.
The manager of the city, Pep Guardiola, described as "unbelievable" the French international under 21: "He is always very calm, the ball at his feet and excellent technical quality."
Aouar has scored five times in Ligue 1 this season and has scored three goals in five league games.
In partnership with Tanguy Ndombele – a former BBC world man – in midfield, he defended the defense against City, scoring five tackles at his highest level despite his more offensive stance.
He averages 2.4 shots, 44 badists and 2.8 tackles per game in the Champions League this season and his team is 90 minutes away from the knockout stages.
It is not surprising that Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are linked to him.
