New French talents (3/4): Himbert and Batola, strikers of tomorrow? | OneFootball

Ligue 1 reveals fresh prospects every year. According to L'Équipe, four of the 12 lesser-known players who should emerge in 2026-2027 are Rémi Himbert, Christ Batola, Ilyas Azizi and Tyrese Noubissie.

The question is who will be the Robin Risser, Tylel Tati, Dayann Methalie, Ismaëlo Ganiou, Sidiki Cherif, Rudy Matondo or Arthur Avom of 2026-2027.

Abroad, France is still viewed as one of the world’s deepest talent pools.

This selection is not exhaustive. Injuries and late transfers could open opportunities for other hopefuls.

For example, without Estéban Lepaul’s late August 2025 move to Rennes, it is not certain Angers players Sidiki Cherif or Prosper Peter would have followed the same paths last season.
