The u-17 World Cup kicks off on Saturday in Brazil with scouts and fans keeping an eye on the most promising young talent in world football. Here is a list of names to keep an eye on during the tournament from each team:

Pedri (Spain): Barça signed the midfielder from Las Palmas last summer. They loaned him back immediately to the Segunda side. He has been compared to Iniesta and while he usually plays on the left, he can drift into the middle too. 

Talles Magno (Brazil): He is a starter for historial Brazilian side, Vasco da Gama, regardless of his age. He is 17 but is 1.86 metres tall. Add that height to incredible speed, along with his technique and you've got yourself a crack.

Gio Reyna (United States): Son of former US internationals, Claudio Reyna and Danielle Egan. and has been signed by Dortmund. Patrick Viera, who trained him at New York City, says he is like the new David Trezeguet.

Zito (Angola): On Manchester United's radar along with other big European clubs. Very fast winger with ability on the ball.

Hoever (Netherlands): With the Netherlands, he plays on the right of defense but he can also player as a central defender too. Physically gifted. Klopp awarded him with a debut last season at Liverpool.
