    What's the story

    The 2018 edition of FIFA World Cup is living up to its expectations.

    Goals, drama, action and heartbreaks we have seen it all so far.

    But most of all, we have been left in awe of some of the youngest players at the grandest stage.

    We decided to take a look at the youngest players of this edition of the FIFA World Cup.

    English talent

    England's Trent Alexander-Arnold

    Born on October 7 in 1998, England right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is the fifth youngest player at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

    The 19-year old was a surprise inclusion in Gareth Southgate's squad.

    He had a brilliant season with Liverpool, where he helped the Reds reach the Champions League final and finish fourth in the English Premier League.

    The custodian

    Nigeria's Francis Uzoho

    Nigeria's Francis Uzoho is the fourth youngest player of this edition of the FIFA World Cup.

    The Deportivo de La Coruna goal-keeper is Nigeria's first choice custodian despite his young age.

    He might have made just two league appearances this season, still Nigeria manager has shown faith in the youngster, giving him a start over experienced players.

    Arab sensation

    Morocco's Achraf Hakimi

    Real Madrid right-back Achraf Hakimi is the third youngest player at the World Cup this year.

    Hakimi made 9 appearances in the Spanish league this season.

    He is the first Arab player to win the prestigious UEFA Champions League trophy.

    Hakimi made his debut for Morocco at the age of 17 and since then he has been one of their rising sensations.

    Biggest star

    France's Kylian Mbappe

    The world's most expensive teenager, Kylian Mbappe became France's youngest goal-scorer at a major tournament, when he netted his first World Cup goal against Peru.

    He was born on December 20, 1998 which makes him the second youngest player.

    He is definitely one of the most promising players at the tournament, so don't be surprised if the PSG star is among the top scorers.

    Youngest

    Australia's Daniel Arzani

    Australia's 19-year-old sensation Daniel Arzani is the youngest player to feature in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

    Arzani is just 15 days younger than Mbappe.

    The Melbourne City winger made 16 appearances for his club scoring two goals while setting his team-mates up thrice.

    With four caps already under his belt, the future definitely looks bright for this young lad.
