The compilation was by leading British newspaper The Guardian.
Daga will only be 18 in January 2025.
SCORENigeria has already reported that the highly-rated defensive midfielder, who made his Flying Eagles debut two years ago, has agreed a pre-contract with top Norwegian club Molde.
He is still eligible to feature in the on-going 2025 U20 AFCON qualifiers in Lome, Togo, but preferred to stay out.
The Next Generation 2024 also has several players with Nigerian heritage – Chidi Obi-Martin (Manchester United), Francis Onyeka (Bayer Leverkusen) and Kenneth Adejenughure (Liefering).
