Wonderkids Lamine Yamal & Cavan Sullivan get Lionel Messi nod of approval alongside USWNT ace Jaedyn Shaw as Inter Miami icon hand picks superstars of the future

<p>As part of the ‘Messi+10’ campaign from adidas, which brings the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lamine-yamal-follow-lionel-messi-jude-bellingham-adidas-barcelona-wonderkid-signature-player/bltc2b69dabea315c7a" target="_blank">new signature F50 boot to the world</a>, a man widely considered to be one of the greatest to ever grace a football field has been charged with the task of identifying hot prospects that boast the potential to dominate their generation.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>It comes as no surprise to find that Barcelona forward Yamal – who made a senior breakthrough at the age of 15 and is already a European Championship winner – gets the nod <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lamine-yamal-reacts-impossible-lionel-messi-challenge-barcelona-wonderkid-120m-transfer-admission-bid-legend/blt990a89dcc3584b73" target="_blank">from his fellow La Masia academy graduate</a>. Teen sensation Sullivan, who debuted in MLS at 14 and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/exclusive-usmnt-man-city-cavan-sullivan-mls-philadelphia-union/blt75dc68ad04990f02" target="_blank">already has a transfer to Premier League champions Manchester City lined up</a>, also makes the cut.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Sullivan will be hoping to represent the USMNT at some stage, while USWNT star Shaw is already a proven international performer for the United States. The 19-year-old forward is another that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/more-history-uswnt-star-jaedyn-shaw-teen-sensation-nwsl-goal-record-double-figures-san-diego-wave/bltc1bef6d7bb613537" target="_blank">has been rewriting the history books</a> and appears destined for greatness.</p>
