Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller has been ranked as one of the top 30 teenage footballers in the world by a leading sports research body.

The Football Observatory ranking, which is calculated based on the level of experience accrued by the players – based on how much they’ve played, and weighted by the competition level.

And the ranking, which is topped by Barcelona pair Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi, puts Miller ahead of the likes of Manchester City‘s Rico Lewis and Brighton and Northern Ireland forward Evan Ferguson.

Miller is not the only Scot on the list, with Kilmarnock midfielder David Watson ranked at 87th.
