At the age of 16, Jude Bellingham is amongst one of the most sought after young talents in Europe, with several of the continent's top clubs having been linked with a move for the teenager's services in recent months. 

After breaking through from the Blues academy, Bellingham has firmly established himself as one of the most exciting young talents in the whole Football League, with his performance levels showing a state of maturity which is far beyond his years.

Capable of playing in various roles across midfield, the youngster presents a mouth watering target for many a club across the world, with his future seemingly set to be determined this summer after what has been a brilliant breakthrough campaign for the Birmingham City starlet.

Here, we have devised a list of EIGHT exciting EFL talents who can follow in Jude Bellingham's footsteps....

The Derby County teenager has burst onto the scene in recent months at Pride Park after putting in a fine performance against Manchester United in the FA Cup.

Possessing great skill and all round technical ability, Sibley recently caught the eye of many a Premier League scout when he scored an impressive long-range effort against Blackburn Rovers, thus notching his first senior goal for the Rams.

A mainstay in Derby's side this term, Bird has provided a solid base in central midfield for Phillip Cocu's side despite still being aged just 19.

With Sibley and Bird amongst their ranks, the Rams arguably have the best teenage midfield partnership in the EFL at their disposal.

After signing from AS Monaco, a lot was expected of Massengo when he arrived at Ashton Gate, with the youngster having developed a blossoming reputation.

Since arriving at the club, the Frenchman has gone a long way towards repaying the faith shown in him by Lee Johnson, with his performances in midfield earning widespread praise from fans and pundits alike.

An imperious centre back for the Potters despite his younger years, Collins has made his breakthrough to the first team at Stoke City this term and has not looked out of place alongside his older peers.

Capable of playing the ball out from the back with confidence, Collins has displayed all the qualities required to become a defender at the top level in years to come and many at the Bet365 Stadium are sure to be fearful of losing their young talent this summer as a result.

Gelhart has performed well for Wigan Athletic this term and as a result has become one of their most coveted assets in recent months.

Aged just 17, Gelhart is a pacey and exciting forward who isn't afraid to take players on, with his low centre of gravity giving him an edge in tight situations.

After making the decision to drop down a few levels in the football pyramid, Lubala is certainly reaping the rewards of the risk he has taken, with the versatile attacker having already notched 13 goals this term for Crawley.

Still aged just 22, Lubala could well be on the move this summer, with his performances at League Two level indicating that he could well be ready to try his hand at a higher level next term.

Since breaking through to the Reading first team, Olise has displayed all the hallmarks of a midfielder far beyond his years, with the youngster possessing great ability on and off the ball.

Alongside his dribbling and passing ability, Olise is also capable of playing in numerous different roles, thus making him a more attractive option for interested clubs as opposed to players who can only operate in one position.

The Ipswich born centre back has been in fine form for the Tractor Boys this term and certainly looks comfortable at League One level and would no doubt be confident at making a big impact in the league above.

Towering and imposing, Woolfenden is capable of striding out from the back to build up attacks from the defensive third, whilst he is also a brilliant aerial presence for Paul Lambert's side.
