Arsenal rookie Bukayo Shaka stands out at the top of the list of Europe's best U21 players in the latest survey by Switzerland's leading sports research organization CIES (Football Observatory). However, Grant, who is suspected of a number of felonies including rape, murder and intimidation, is a surprise close second, while Zudi Binningham drops to 24th place.
The Football Observatory has selected the top 100 best European U21 players today by exhaustively analyzing data from 32 European leagues and combining players' performances in terms of possession, efficiency, interceptions and shots on goal. Among them, 20-year-old Shaka topped the list with absolute strength. This season in the Arsenal game, Shaka has contributed 10 goals, and has become an indispensable member of the England national team, the future can be expected.
Despite disappearing for two months in connection with the alleged case, Manchester United youth player Grant remains firmly in second place on the list, edging out Austrian star Berdre Winmar from Bielefeld. According to The Sun, British police have filed a report on Grant's charges and will decide whether to formally charge him in the near future.
Shaka's Arsenal teammate Gabriele Martinelli is in 14th place, while Borussia Dortmund midfielder Zudi Binningham is a surprisingly low 24th.
