The Worthing-born midfielder has been named alongside some of the world’s best youngsters in this year’s GOAL NXGN top 50.
The annual NXGN list highlights the 50 most incredible prospects to have been born after January 1, 2005.
Hinshelwood has made quite the impact this season. The versatile teenager has scored three goals in 12 Premier League appearances – including a superb effort in Albion’s 4-1 demolition of fierce rivals Crystal Palace at the Amex in February – but faces a stint on the sidelines after suffering a stress fracture in his foot.
But who else has made this list of the game’s brightest stars of the future?
The top 50 includes talents from across European football’s biggest clubs – including FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
You can view the top 50 in full in the gallery below.
33. Lewis Miley - Newcastle United
Lewis Miley has broken a number or records at Newcastle United. The midfielder made his Premier League debut on May 28, 2023, coming on as a second half substitute against Chelsea. This made Miley the Magpies' youngest ever Premier League player. The England under-19 international made his UEFA Champions League debut on November 7, 2023, coming off the bench in a 2-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund, becoming the youngest Newcastle player to feature in European competitions, aged 17 years and 191 days. Eighteen days later, at the age of 17 years and 208 days, he became the youngest ever Newcastle player to assist a Premier League goal in the 4-1 win over Chelsea. On December 13, during the final UEFA Champions League group stage matchday against AC Milan, Miley made history by becoming the youngest player in the tournament's history to provide an assist for an English club at the age of 17 years and 226 days. Three days later, he scored his first goal for Newcastle in a 3-0 win over Fulham, in which he became the youngest player to score in the Premier League since Federico Macheda in 2009, and the youngest ever player to score for the Magpies in that competition.

34. Arthur Vermeeren - Atlético Madrid

On January 26, 2024, the midfielder joined Atlético Madrid on a six-and-a-half-year contract. Prior to his departure from Antwerp, he made 64 consecutive starts across all competitions for the club, playing 99.4% of the available minutes during that run.

35. Pau Cubarsí - FC Barcelona
Seventeen-year-old Pau Cubarsí has enjoyed a meteoric rise at FC Barcelona. Cubarsí made his first team debut against Unionistas de Salamanca in the Copa del Rey in January 2024. On March 12, the defender was named player of the match on his UEFA Champions League debut in a 3-1 victory over Napoli in the round of 16 second leg, in which he became the youngest player to debut at 17 years and 50 days in the competition's knockout phase.

36. Gabriel Moscardo - Paris Saint-Germain (on loan at Corinthians)
Corinthians midfielder Gabriel Moscardo may only have 25 senior appearances to his name, but that was enough to convince PSG to shell out €20m on the 18-year-old in January. Following the agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, Brazil under-23 international Moscardo was immediately loaned back to Corinthians until June 2024. Photo: Ricardo Moreira/Getty Images
