The last round features what are considered the best prospects: players who have shown the potential to make a big impact in the league, earn a transfer abroad and emerge as national team options.

Check out the Top 10 below.

10. Rayan Elloumi – F – Vancouver Whitecaps FC

DOB: 9/17/2007 | HT: 6-0 | WT: 181 | Last Year’s Ranking: N/A

When 2025 started, Elloumi was on the radar of college programs. By the end, he was one of the top breakout prospects in both Canada and Major League Soccer. Building off that and launching himself into a first team role is not a stretch. He scored 11 goals in MLS NEXT Pro, and then came into a talented Whitecaps squad and scored two goals in seven appearances. Heading his first full season on an MLS roster, building off the scintillating year is the key. He's eligible to play for Tunisia and Canada, and at this point looks like he has the potential to play for whatever country he chooses.
