Saka, Enzo Fernandez and Kvaratskhelia are the 3 most valuable players in Europe born in 2001.
Saka is currently one of the best wingers in the Premier League. The England international has been performing very consistently since the beginning of this season. Arsenal are on the hunt for the Premier League title this season thanks to Bukayo Saka's top form. He has scored 13 goals and has 10 assists in 40 appearances for Arsenal this season. Saka was also a mainstay of the first team under Gareth Southgate and he is one of the most important players of the England national team.
Enzo Fernandez has established himself as a first-team starter at Chelsea. The Blues spent a lot of money to sign Benfica's Enzo Fernandez on the last day of the January transfer window. The Argentinian midfielder has remained in very consistent form since moving to Stamford Bridge and he is currently one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.
Kvaratskhelia can be considered the best winger in Serie A at the moment. He has scored 14 goals and has 14 assists in 32 appearances for Napoli in all competitions this season.
He has also formed an impressive offensive relationship with Victor Osimhen, who is currently injured. Kvaratskhelia continues to impress for Napoli.

Manchester United have a lot of work to do at first-team level at the moment as a number of talented young players continue to emerge in prominence upon leaving Old Trafford.
After picking up another Premier League win over struggling Everton this Saturday afternoon, Erik ten Hag and his team are preparing to continue their pursuit of the Europa League. However, the Dutch coach could also keep an eye on the next generation's performances.
Here is our recap after some believers found themselves active on the Easter schedule;
Dishon Bernard - Portsmouth
Subs were not used as Portsmouth was held to a goalless draw by the relegation-threatened Morecambe at their Fratton Park stadium. Center-back Bernard, 22, has only started once since February.
Amad Diallo - Sunderland
Sunderland rekindled their play-off ambitions with a tight win over Cardiff City on Monday afternoon. In terms of form, Diallo started this game with 11 goals this season - including three in the last four - but are not expected to make a significant impact despite playing 90 minutes here. Alvaro Fernandez - Preston
Was included in the squad when Preston hosted Reading at Deepdale on Monday afternoon. Having won four of their last five league games, the Lancashire side came back with a late winner to maintain their play-off spot - while Fernandez contributed in the opening goal.
It was his assist for Thomas Cannon that fixed the score to put Preston on a point with sixth-placed Blackburn Rovers despite playing one game less. It was Fernandez's fourth assist for the club and it came from an overlap and a cross from left-back.
Preston won 2-1 with a 92nd-minute goal from Brad Potts. Ethan Galbraith - City of Salford
Galbraith started 10th against AFC Wimbledon but the Academy man only lasted 45 minutes when he was substituted by Matt Smith at half-time with the Ammies trailing behind. In his absence, there was a last-minute drama as Callum Hendry scored twice in injury time to complete the first leg, and won 3-2, even if he missed a penalty in the 92nd minute. !
Ethan Laird - QPR
Another player was denied entry in the tense draw between West Brom and QPR as Laird watched the action unfold from the stands. QPR is 2 points away from the relegation zone as they continue to fight for relegation.
Charlie McNeill - Newport County
McNeill ended Easter Monday when he was once again in the starting line-up against Stockport County at Edgeley Park. However, the young forward and his Newport teammates had little to celebrate as they were beaten 4-0 by League Two promotion hopefuls, who had already risen to No. three after a one-way competition. Hannibal Mejbri - City of Birmingham
Andrews was even honored when Birmingham took on Stoke City in a stalemate. However, Hannibal has failed to add 33 appearances this season and has not started for a month.
Maxi Oyedele - Altrincham
Although he started off the bench for Altrincham in their game against neighbors Oldham Athletic on Good Friday, it turned out to be a game to remember for the teenager. Oyedele scored a sensational volley - his third goal in nine Premier League appearances so far this season - to help his club earn a point on loan.
This earned Altrincham manager Phil Parkinson's praise quite a bit. He told the club's website:
