Best young forwards in Europe with Chelsea ace and Barcelona’s Neymar among the finest

4. Stephan El Shaarawy, AC Milan

It’s been a tough year for this Italian as injury has kept the forward out of action for most of the season, but his form in 2012/13 showed what El Shaarawy is capable of.

With 24 goals in 81 appearances for Milan and 10 caps for Italy there is no doubting the 21-year-old’s talent.
