4. Ajax
The Ajax Youth Academy is famous for developing the likes of Johan Cruijff, Dennis Bergkamp and Marco van Basten, and moulding the famous 1995 Champions League-winning side.
In this decade, top talents such as Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen, Thomas Vermaelen and Daley Blind have sprouted their wings to test themselves in the Premier League.
3. Southampton
The Saints are almost the Ajax of England, having built themselves a reputation for producing potential starlets and then giving them first-team opportunities at a tender age.
The world’s most expensive player, as well as Arsenal duo Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, started their career with the Saints, who sold £92m worth of talent in the summer of 2014.
