Grounded: He still lives with his mum - meet Lyon NxGn starlet Houssem Aouar

The teenager is the latest in a long line to emerge at the club and has already attracted interest from the likes of Barcelona and Liverpool

From Alexandre Lacazette, Karim Benzema and Anthony Martial to Samuel Umtiti, Hatem Ben Arfa and Corentin Tolisso, Lyon's remarkable recent history of producing young talent is showing no signs of slowing.

And in Houssem Aouar, they look to have unearthed yet another gem.

The Ligue 1 side’s first-team is now littered with a host of young superstars already looking likely to set the footballing world alight.

Sought-after Frenchman Nabil Fekir stars alongside Mariano, Maxwell Cornet, Tanguy Ndombele and Lucas Tousart - with all five under the age of 25 - but it’s 19-year-old Aouar who is the talk of the town.
