UEFA highlight Musah as talent to watch in 2021

The American international features on a 50-man list from the European organisation

The end of 2020 was very special for Yunus Musah. He made his debut for the Valencia CF first team, made history by becoming the youngest foreign player to score a goal in LaLiga, signed his first professional contract and has even made his debut for the senior United States national team.

UEFA have chosen the Valencia CF player as one of the 50 promises to follow in 2021.

Like every year, the largest European football organisation has produced a report of the 50 young players to watch out for during the next twelve months.

UEFA describe Musah as "an international at youth levels with England before representing his country of birth at senior level" and recall that "he became the youngest non-Spanish player to score a goal in the history of Valencia CF, in the game against Getafe in November -when he was only 17 years and 338 days old.”

Musah joins players such as Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund, and AC Milan’s Daniel Maldini --son of the legendary Paolo Maldini and grandson of Cesare Maldini- on the list.
