The French league is said to be a platform for producing considerable young talent, and this season has been no different. As several young players showed impressive displays of their potential, here is a look at a few extraordinary players in the
Ligue 1.
The French Ligue 1 is one of those leagues that are known for their immense young talent. The teams playing in the Championnat have squads consisting of experienced veterans and talented young players, with teams from several top leagues scouting for young
players in the Ligue 1.
The 2012/13 season has been no different than the previous episodes of the Ligue 1. There have been stunning displays as well as impressive performances by several young players throughout the season. However, some have exhibited extraordinary capability,
compared to others. Here’s a list of some the most promising strikers in the Ligue 1:
Wissam Ben Yedder (Toulouse FC)
The Tunisian-born Frenchman has been stunning this season. The striker has registered 9 goals to his name so far, and has proven to be a reliable performer for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toulouse-FC-c40751.
The player recently surfaced as the leading hit-man for Les Pitchouns, with the ability to hold the ball, as well as shaking off defenders.
The Frenchman gave a memorable display of attacking skills in the game against league leaders http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130, where the striker scored a brace to help his side to a 3-0 win against Remi Garde's side.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (AS Saint-Etienne)
The Gabonese international has been sensational this season. The striker has proven to be a team player, scoring and assisting for Saint-Etienne. Aubameyang scored 8 goals while playing for Les Verts, as well as assisting 4 others.
The 23-year-old’s goal tally includes vital goals against Paris Saint-Germain, Stade Rennais and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Montpellier-HSC-c39945. The striker is currently trailed by several high-profile European clubs, who seek to sign the young Gabonese to bolster their attacking options.
Romain Alessandrini (http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stade-Rennais-FC-c40612)
The young midfielder was considered to be more of a gamble when he was featured in the starting line-up for Stade Rennais. However, the Frenchman has silenced his critics, following a display of consistent impressive performances in the Ligue 1.
Despite being a midfielder, the Frenchman has scored 6 goals for the Rennes-based club, and has proven to be quite productive in terms of creating chances. Les Rouge et Noirs’ coach, Frederic Antonetti, has high expectations of the youngster, and believes
that he can continue his current string of performances.
The player was brought in as a replacement for the loaned midfielder, Yacine Brahimi, who is currently playing for Granada in the Spanish Primera Division. However, since his arrival, the 23-year-old has proved to be a vital member of the squad.
Alessandrini is yet to feature as a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international, and with his current string of performances, Didier Deschamps would not be able to ignore the midfielder’s potential for long.
Remy Cabella (Montpellier Herault SC)
The French outfit hasn’t run out of talent despite the departure of several players, including their former leading goal-scorer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oliver-c28477 Giroud. The 2012/13 season has seen the rise of young players like Remy Cabella, who has been way more than impressive
this season.
The young Frenchman is currently the leading goal-scorer for La Paillade. The attacking midfielder has justified his starting spot by delivering impressive performances of late.
Mevlut Erding (Stade Rennais FC)
The striker joined the French outfit club earlier this year, in the January transfer window, following not being a part of Carlo Ancelotti’s plans for PSG. The 25-year-old has proved to be an important member of Frederic Antonetti’s squad.
The Turkish international has been performing well this season, and is the joint leading goal-scorer with Alessandrini for the Rennes-based club. Erding has adapted well to his new club, having earned praise from both the fans and management alike.
