Finding the top young players in LaLiga is the easiest job in football. Let's start with Barcelona, who have a youngster on the wing named Lamine Yamal. At 17, he is probably already one of the top five players in the world. In midfield they have Pedri, 22, and Gavi, 20, who already have 47 caps for Spain between them.

Down at Real Madrid, we have Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler and Endrick. With a combined age of 58, they have the talent to dominate the world game for more than a decade. Unfortunately, you can count the number of Premier League clubs who could afford these players on one hand, with fingers to spare – assuming their current clubs would ever consider selling them.

Luckily for those clubs who have to make their money go a little further, there are plenty of prospects within their price range in Spain's top division. LaLiga is a division blessed with some of the finest young talents in global football - including 2024 Kopa honouree Lamine Yamal.

Real Madrid have their fair share of gifted youngsters, such as Endrick (left) and Arda Guler. Here, Mail Sport shines the spotlight on some of the best. Pau Cubarsi. Age: 17. Club: Barcelona. Country: Spain. Position: Centre back. To have one 17-year-old in the first team is unusual. If they are already world class, that is extremely rare. Yet Barcelona, remarkably, have two generational talents in their starting XI and neither has yet turned 18.
