What is more fun than buying a hot shot young striker who starts banging them in at the age of 18? Look at these FM23 wonderkid strikers for inspiration.

As a forward, your job is to score goals. For young forwards, though, simply having some pace and/or the ability to dribble can be enough. If you want to buy one of the many FM23 wonderkids who are strikers, players who can do something from the minute they arrive, we recommend that you begin your search for such talent using the below list.

 

Karim Konate, RB Salzburg

For a price of around €4m you could land Karim Konate, a highly exciting young Ivorian striker. Having been bought by the Red Bull group you can assume he has something about him. Few young strikers in the game, though, inspire or excite quite like this young man. He is raw, yes, and you will need to give him time as at 18 he has very little senior football. That patience, though, will be certainly rewarded.

 

Tim Prica, WSG Tirol

Sweden has a fine history with strikers, and in 20-year-old Tim Prica we might have another. He might never become the new Henrik Larsson, but he has a lot of ability. He is available for around €3m too so he will not break the bank. Price is an impressive player from an athletic point of view, but it is his surprisingly decent mental stats that make him someone you should focus on for a squad position.

 

Jhon Duran, Chicago Fire

This young Colombian striker, Jhon Duran, is being linked with all manner of teams in real-life, and has a lot of natural ability. He has a fire and flair that is often seen in young South Americans. His time in the MLS, though, has improved his physicality. You should expect that Duran has more than enough about him to go and do some serious damage from an early period, though elite clubs should expect a realistic period of adaptation.

 

Dion Drena Beljo, Osijek

This young Croatian striker has been arguably held back by claims of being the new Croatian striker of a generation. A nation that produces players like Mario Mandzukic, Davor Sukur, and Ivica Olic, though, has expectations. Dion Drena Beljo has a lot of potential, and at 20 you could expect him to be good enough to play some kind of role early on. Cheap enough at around €3.5m, he is one worth keeping an eye on when you are building and developing your second unit for the future.

 

Tiago Morais, Leixoes

Young Portuguese strikers are always worth keeping an eye on, and for over €5.5m you could get a very prodigious young forward in Tiago Morais. He might not become the next Pauleta, but he is sure to become a striker that you can rely upon to be good when you need a penalty box finisher. He has decent athletic stats, too, for an 18-year-old and could be someone who you develop quickly. Definitely one to add to your list of potential hires, anyway!
