The World Cup has started with a bang across the pond, with over 100 goals scored in the first 10 days of the tournament, and host nations United States, Mexico and Canada all recording landmark victories.
Both Scotland and England have got off the mark too, with opening game wins over Haiti and Croatia getting the home nations off to the perfect start, while global superstars Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe have all scored at least two goals to kick off their tournaments in the most typical of fashions.
But which young stars have caught the eye in the opening days of the tournament? Which teenage talents have shone alongside the big names at the tournament in North America?
Here, we look at the 12 most valuable teenagers currently playing at the World Cup 2026 based on popular football statistics site FotMob’s market value.
5. Rayan - Brazil
The 19-year-old winger is as pacey as the come, and has a real eye for goal. Signed as a replacement for Antoine Semenyo at AFC Bournemouth in January, the teenager has already shown his capabilities in the English Premier League with seven goal contributions in 12 starts and is now ready to bring his talent to a global stage with Brazil. He is valued at £21million. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
6. Luka Vuskovic - Croatia
The Tottenham Hotspur youngster is widely considered one of the best and most promising young defenders on the continent. Physically dominant, he offers a threat from set-pieces, but is also a composed passer of the ball that is able to build attacks from the back. He is valued at £28million. | AFP via Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
7. Ibrahim Mbaye - Senegal
The 18-year-old has been touted as the next Kylian Mbappe for Paris Saint-Germain after his impressive performances for the Champions League double winners. Scored against France in Senegal's World Cup opener. He is valued at £29million. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
8. Yan Diomande - Ivory Coast
Anyone who has watched the Bundesliga in recent seasons will know all about the powerful 18-year-old winger. Scored 12 goals and assisted eight more in the German top flight for RB Leipzig last term, and has already made his mark at this summer's World Cup with a scintillating display against Germany. He's valued at £29million by FotMob, but reports claim the likes of Liverpool have been quoted at more than £100million in recent weeks amid growing interest in his services. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
