Welsh attacker Gareth Bale has been at the pinnacle of Welsh football for some time now, but as he approaches his senior years, it's time for fresh talent.
Enduring seven years at European heavyweights Real Madrid following consecutive standout seasons with Tottenham, he has proved his worth.
A shock loan return to North London came in 2020 before he was shipped off across the pond to play for Los Angeles FC across the pond. His emphatic career at the peak of his powers will serve him as one of Welsh footballing greats, alongside Ryan Giggs and Ian Rush.
Now 33 years old, there’s a possibility that the World Cup in Qatar may be his last. Calling it a “Hollywood script”, the Dragons captain will figurehead his team as they represent their country after an extensive 64 years.
As Robert Page’s men turn their attention to the World Cup, the question must get answered: who can fulfil the boots of their star man?
In comes three internationals playing in England’s top-flight who will prove to play a big part in their international success if they were to have any – Harry Wilson, Dan James, and Brennan Johnson
Wilson enjoyed a terrific campaign in the Championship as he registered ten goals and 19 assists but has since 'hit a wall' s at the elite level. His proven track record and free-kick aptitude may be a crucial outlet for his side.
Beside him at Craven Cottage is Dan James, the former Manchester United player. Credited for his work rate, James has the pace to match the energy and proves to be a nuisance when legs are tired.
Newly promoted Nottingham Forest have often relied on the brilliance of 21-year-old Brennan Johnson in their struggle in the division, as he is their second top goal scorer.
Wales are not just here for a holiday and will look to Gareth Bale and his Welsh compatriots to excite the fans in attendance and at home.
