FIFA 21 Under-21s: Which young players have the highest rating on the game?

Kylian Mbappe is the brightest young star in football right now and EA Sports seem to agree based on their FIFA 21 ratings. 

Ahead of the release of their newest game, EA has revealed the ratings for the best Under-21 players in the world right now with Mbappe crowned king courtesy of an overall rating of 90. 

The Paris Saint-Germain prodigy already has a World Cup to his name for France and helped guide his club to the Champions League final this year.

Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho round out the podium with overall ratings of 87. Both already play for England at international level and have turned plenty of heads at club level with Sancho desperately wanted at Manchester United.

New Chelsea signing Kai Havertz headlines the next best batch of youngsters with his overall rating of 85 matched by Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt and AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. 

Dortmund, Chelsea and Real Madrid are the best represented clubs when it comes to talented U-21 players with each team boasting three players in EA’s list. 

Interestingly, no Barcelona names have made the cut with 17-year-old Ansu Fati not included despite his breakout season at Camp Nou.
