Thomas Muller, the Germany soccer team's forward is the Hyundai 2010 FIFA World Cup™ Best Young Player.

The Bayern Munich youngster has hit the headlines on and off the field, with five goals and three assists. After just one season in the Bayern first team, the 20-year-old has become the darling of the German football scene, and provided all the evidence the FIFA Technical Study Group required to name him Best Young Player of the tournament.

The only blemish on Muller's record at the finals was his yellow card in Germany’s meeting with Argentina, causing him to miss his side’s semi-final defeat to Spain due to suspension.
