Youri Tielemans plays for Anderlecht in Belgium and this pass against Club Brugge at the weekend shows why he is being tipped for big things.

In October Youri Tielemans played for Anderlecht against Olympiacos in the Champions league, aged just 16 years, four months and 23 days old, making him the youngest ever player in the competition.

As we all know, Belgium are producing a lot of great talent at the moment and are many people’s dark horses for this summer’s World Cup in Brazil. With passes like this from one of their 16-year-olds, the future looks very bright indeed for Belgium.

Just watch as Tielemans splits the entire Club Brugge defence with one pass from his own half.

It gets better with every viewing. Incidentally, Anderlecht beat their great rivals 3-0 and young Youri scored the first goal. Remember the name folks!
