The 2019 Africa Cup of Nations gets underway on June 21, as the continent's finest square off in Egypt.
It's the perfect opportunity for players everywhere to make a name for themselves, or to enhance their already glowing reputations.
Here's a look at nine of the finest youngsters and potential transfer targets to keep an eye on this summer.
Andre Onana
One of the many youngsters who excelled during Ajax's surprise run to the Champions League semi-finals in 2018/19, Andre Onana has proven himself to be one of the most talented young goalkeepers in world football.
The 23-year-old's remarkable reactions, tidy footwork and towering frame have made him a potential target for Manchester United, who will no doubt be keeping a close eye on his progress for Cameroon this month.
Kalidou Koulibaly
Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly was voted as the best defender in Serie A and a case could even be put forward to suggest that he's now one of the best centre-backs in world football.
Moussa Wague
It has already been confirmed that 20-year-old right-back Moussa Wague will be making the step up to Barcelona's first team next season, so he will be one to keep tabs on this summer - especially as Senegal are expected to go deep into the tournament.
Wague has made three appearances for the Blaugrana in La Liga after impressing for their 'B' team and Ernesto Valverde views him as a potential replacement for Nelson Semedo, has hasn't been totally convincing during his time at the club.
Hachraf Hakimi
Achraf Hakimi's season came to a premature end when he suffered a metatarsal fracture in March, but he has returned to full fitness and will be ready to represent Morocco in Egypt.
The Real Madrid man, who is currently on loan at Borussia Dormtund on a two-year deal, was in stellar form during the 2018/19 campaign and his dexterity meant that he was equally comfortable playing on both flanks. He's still just 20 years old, but he is certainly one of Morocco's most influential players - let's just hope he hasn't rushed back from injury too quickly.
Thomas Partey
Atletico Madrid are undergoing a huge squad overhaul this summer, but they would do well to hold on to Ghanaian Thomas Partey, who has garnered a reputation as one of the best defensive midfielders in La Liga over the past few seasons.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Inter have all been cited as potential candidates to sign the 26-year-old, who possesses the sort of skill set most midfielders who would be invariably envious of. He's a commanding physical presence, recycles possession efficiently and is lethal from distance, making him an asset for anyone willing to fork out a huge sum to snap him up.
Hakim Ziyech
Another member of that supremely talented Ajax side, Ziyech currently has the world at his feet and plenty of potential suitors who are looking to whisk him away from the Netherlands this summer.
Arsenal and Liverpool are amongst the interested parties and his relatively low valuation of
Samuel Chukwueze
Rennes have been able to nurture some excellent talents over the past few years - including Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele - and the latest hot prospect strutting his stuff for the Ligue 1 outfit is Senegalese winger Ismaila Sarr.
Sarr was in fine form during 2018/19, especially during Rennes' impressive Europa League run, which has attracted interest from Arsenal and in more recent weeks, Leicester and Watford. He'll play a starring role for Senegal - as he did in the World Cup last year - so expect plenty of goals and assists from the 21-year-old.
Nicolas Pepe
The Ivorian can play anywhere across a forward line and is very proficient in front of goal, with Kylian Mbappe being the only player to outscore him in France. Bayern Munich, Liverpool and United all have their sights set on the 24-year-old, but he won't come cheap as Lille are looking for at least
