With a potential rating of 90, Barcelona star Ansu Fati is the best young wonderkid striker on FIFA 23. It is perhaps little surprise that the Spain international, who inherited Lionel Messi's No. 10 shirt and has a current rating of 79, would be so highly rated on the game.
A pair of 17-year-olds follow Fati, with Club Brugge's Antonio Nusa and Borussia Dortmund's Youssoufa Moukoko each boasting potential ratings of 88. Leeds United striker Joe Gelhardt is highly regarded on the game with 87 potential, as is Dortmund youngster Karim Adeyimi.
GETTYManchester United are stocked with some decent young attacking talent, including Alejandro Garnacho and Anthony Elanga, whose respective potential ratings stand at 85, though Elanga's current rating is much higher.
Benjamin Sesko, who is being monitored by Europe's elite clubs, has a current rating of 72 on FIFA 23, but the RB Salzburg forward's potential can grow by 13 points to 85.
There are a number of bright prospects plying their trade in the Eredivisie with the likes of Ajax and PSV, including Savio and Francisco Conceicao, who each have a potential of 86.
