Dele Alli has been ranked at No.8 on a list of the 50 best under-20 stars in world football.

The Spurs wonderkid has propelled himself to stardom after a blistering first six months to life at White Hart Lane.

His spectacular volleyed goal at Crystal Palace last weekend only further enhanced his reputation, which will likely see him earn a place in Roy Hodgson's Euro 2016 squad.

But according to Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy, the former MK Dons whizz faces a lot of competition to be named the world's best young star.

In fact, a host of names that will be familiar to Premier League football fans have made the top 50.

Chelsea's Kenedy and West Ham's Reece Oxford both make the top 20 of the list.

All of them sit just ahead of Real Madrid's Martin Odegaard, Liverpool new boy Marko Grujic and Vitesse's latest Chelsea prodigy Dominic Solanke.

Arsenal are represented by Gedion Zelalem, who has been impressing for Rangers since his season-long switch above the border.

Manchester City have also been featured twice. Young Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho has earned his place, while Olivier Ntcham, who they have sent on a two-year loan to Genoa, made the grade.

For those enjoying the transfer rumour mill, a lot of the names on the list will be familiar.

Renato Sanches of Benfica makes the grade, who has recently been linked with Manchester United and Arsenal. Sanches is one of the hottest properties on the continent.

He is joined by the likes of Dani Ceballos, Antonio Sanabria, Goncalo Guedes and Andrija Zivkovic - all of whom have been linked with moves to England.

Taking the No.1 spot is Bayern Munich's French international starlet, Kingsley Coman.

Coman is currently on a two-year loan in Bavaria, having signed from Juventus last summer, in a deal which Bayern can turn permanent for £25million.
