Tanguy Ndombele: The 21-year-old brushing shoulders with World Cup winners

The depth of the French squad is something that is well known, especially after they became World champions for the second time this summer in Russia.

For anyone that is doubting that the French national team will not be a force to reckon with for years to come, the introduction of the likes of Ndombele in to the team shows just why those doubts are unfounded.

The box-to-box midfielder put in an exceptionally impressive display against Man City in Lyon's famous win last month, but he's not a one-game wonder.

He started his professional career at Amiens, where he is described as single-handedly getting the team promoted to Ligue 1 in France.

Last season he spent on loan at Lyon, in which he registered 54 appearances in all competitions, and has started this campaign as a similarly integral part of the team, registering four assists in just eight games so far this year.

Strong, powerful and with a good reading of the game, his inclusion in the French squad shows how highly-thought of he is, even at the age of just 21.

Some even think he has the potential to be one of the best midfielders in the world some day, with his aptitude in both attacking and defensive situations. 

How he reacts to being introduced to international football will give a good indication of how realistic that it.
