From the top 5 leagues in Europe the French league has offered the most playtime to offer to young players this season according the CIES's weekly report. The opportunity to play is an important factor that young players have to take in consideration when they sign with a team. While the big bucks in England are very appealing a young player who is looking at the long term will maybe opt for France if he is offered the choice. Short term smart or long term smart. Only the future will tell if the right choice has been made.
