Marcus Rashford and Ousmane Dembélé were part of our first batch of promising players in 2014. Here you can find out how all 290 have got on
In 2014 we set out to select some of the most promising players in the world and follow them for five years. It started as 20 Premier League players (one from each club) and 40 from the rest of the world. The global one was quickly expanded to 50 (2015) and the current 60 (2016 and 2017), meaning this year we have chased updates for 290 players.
It has been a fascinating journey to find out how these extremely talented players have done. Some of them, such as Marcus Rashford and Ousmane Dembélé, have become international stars while others are no longer with a club. Some have been hampered by injuries while others have made it to their club’s first team or been involved in multimillion-pound transfers.
