  2. Club: Montpellier

Montpellier have endured some difficult moments since their incredible title win ten years ago, but in Elye Wahi they have more reasons to be positive.

The teenager striker impressed for La Paillade last season, scoring ten goals and assisting two despite their disappointing 13th place finish in Ligue 1.
