The Guardian, considered one of the most prestigious publications in the world, announced the 2025 edition of its traditional “Next Generation” list. In the list of the 60 most talented football players under the age of 18, two young names representing Turkish football attracted attention: Kayserispor’s 17-year-old goalkeeper Deniz Dönmezer and Galatasaray’s 17-year-old number 10 Furkan Koçak.
