It's bad enough to think that a huge chunk of this summer's World Cup player pool will be made up of lads born in the nineties, of which I can remember about 70% (as opposed to this decade's 30%, for different reasons), but it's even more terrifying to see stuff like this - Milan have promoted a kid born in 1998 to their first team squad - and he's a special talent as you'd expect.

Mastour was born in Reggio Emilia of Moroccan descent and we've spotted him before. He turns 16 on June 15 and was purchased from Reggiana for €500,000 in 2012 - easily a world record fee for a 14-year-old.
