Prominent football publication Goal has released its prestigious NXGN 2026 list, featuring the 50 best young footballers in the world. Kazakhstan national team and FC Kairat forward Dastan Satpayev has secured 43rd place in this elite ranking, appearing alongside global stars such as Lamine Yamal and Estêvão.

The 17-year-old Kazakh talent is currently preparing for a landmark move to London’s Chelsea FC this summer. The transfer fee is reported to be in the region of €4 million. Satpayev turned heads internationally after becoming the third-youngest goalscorer in the history of the UEFA Champions League main stage, trailing only behind Barcelona's Ansu Fati and Lamine Yamal.

Following a stellar season in the Kazakhstan Premier League, where he recorded 14 goals and 7 assists, pundits have drawn comparisons between Satpayev and Argentine legend Sergio Agüero due to his playing style. The football world is now eagerly watching to see how the young Kazakh prospect will perform in the English Premier League once he arrives at Stamford Bridge.
