Celtic star Liel Abada and Aberdeen's Calvin Ramsay join Europe's hottest prospects on prestigious top 100 list

Celtic winger Liel Abada and Aberdeen full-back Calvin Ramsay have been named amongst the 100 best wonderkids in European football following a study by the CIES Football Observatory.

The duo make the cut of best-performing outfield players under the age of 21 from across the continent and are joined by the likes of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, Barcelona's Pedri and Scotland talisman Billy Gilmour.

The detailed study involved closely monitoring Europe's most exciting young talents, analysing 11 'game indicators', 15 'technical profile categories' and eight different 'game areas'.

And after 14 goals in an impressive debut season with the Hoops following his £3.6M move from Maccabi Petah Tivka in his homeland last summer, 20-year-old Israel cap Abada finds himself in 77th spot, while Ramsay, 18, makes it onto the list in 83rd spot, ahead of players from clubs such as Besiktas, Bordeaux and Real Zaragoza.

Ramsay is also enjoying a breakout season as one of the Premiership's most exhilarating young talents despite the Dons' disappointing campaign and has recently been linked with a move to Serie A side Bologna.

After cementing himself as one of the brightest young players in the English Premier League, Gilmour breaks into the top-50 in 49th place, while Arsenal and England winger Bukayo Saka tops the list, edging out Manchester United's Mason Greenwood.
