Zinho Vanheusden, 19. The biggest defensive talent I've seen in Belgium since Kompany I think. He's on loan at Standard Liege but owned by Inter. He had a bad injury 1.5 years ago, and Inter sent him to Belgium to regain fitness and get top flight games. They really believe in him at Inter. He'll be a full international soon.

Kutucu just scored for Schalke v Bayern. Never seen him play before but that was a good goal.

Usually a club like Man Utd should not go and buy this age group unless the talent is evidently exceptional. And such talent quickly becomes highly sought-after and expensive.

Usually players mature at 21-22 and you see a real potential as a man, and not as a kid. A good potential 21 years old can be easily groomed and reaches his peak at 26-27.

In Soccernomics they said the best time for a club to sign a player is their early 20s since they should be able to contribute immediately but, have not reached their peak yet.

Sounds like Rayan Cherki (15) is a generational talent. I’ve heard lots of Lyon fans say he’s the best ever prospect from their academy. He’s an attacking midfielder playing well above his age group.
