GFFN GUIDE | Which prospects could break through in Ligue 1 this season?

GFFN’s Ligue 1 guide highlights several young players it views as poised for breakout seasons in France’s top flight. Lille’s 19-year-old forward Soriba Diaoune is one focus after 17 appearances last season, with most coming as late substitute cameos. New coach Davide Ancelotti has given him preseason chances, though the guidance is that he still needs more consistency. At Lens, 16-year-old midfielder Mezian Mesloub has been tied down with a professional contract and scored within five seconds of his competitive debut versus Nantes. For Monaco, 19-year-old midfielder Pape Cabral is expected to step up after injuries limited his momentum following breakthrough displays.
