Kyogo at Celtic. He’d be a good rotation option with Hojlund.

One hardly under the radar, but people dont seem aware of the other one much at the moment....and yes it is Brighton again.

I think Encisco looks a great prospect from his debut cameos last year and he put in a superb performance with assists just before his recent injury.

The other one is Adringa. He has an in form Solley March ahead of him who has been consistent for some time....but I still think he will be the breakthrough talent this year. A lazy comparison, but I would compare him a little bit to Amad, tiny, great balance and close control, maybe not the creativity, but he is also quick, has great step overs and looks super cool, clinical, calm and intelligent in the box. I think beyond Mitouma and Ferguson, Adringa and Encisco by summer 2024 are going to have the vlutures putting in big bids for both

Gabriel Moscardo (17) - Corinthians.

A beast both offensively and defensively.

I don't think he'll necessarily be a top class player but Semenyo from Bournemouth has caught my eye this season. Could see him being a decent Premier League player for many years.

Been their 2nd best attacker so far behind Solanke - although to be most accurate he was great against Liverpool and then 2 not very good games. But Tavernier and Ouatrra were better last season and among other new signings its hard to see him getting that much playtime when everyone is fit. You might still be right but I expect he'd have to move clubs and be a main starter to get there.

I think Bournemouth found one of the players this thread is for in Kerkez, he's been one of their best players from LB at 19.

We could do a lot worse than taking Matty Cash from Villa
Even if he was the answer to anything, gone are the days where we could rock up to a club like Villa and take one of their first team players for halfway reasonable money.

Javi Guerra (20, CM) - Valencia. He has made a spectacular start to the season. Three goals and one assist. Height 1.87.

Savio (19, RW) - Girona. Two goals and three assists. Fast and skilled player. Great projection.

Only time seen him, but seems to be highly rated.

Samuel Lino at Atletico Madrid, playing as an attacking let back though seems to have previously been a left winger.

Vermeeren is the exact kind of player you’d love the club to sign but we’d probably ruin his career :lol:

Saw him a bit with Valencia last season, was a threat coming from the left but would be wasteful with his chances. Still he kept at it and got 6 league goals but with good finishing he could have had twice that

Girona is worth keeping an eye on this season. Can see alot of people after their players if they carry on performing well.

I wish we were more in the market for these kind of players

Savio belongs to City, but we should absolutely get these kind of players before they join top clubs and loan them out to teams that will actually play them. Look how it turned out with Pellistri. Not a sustainable way to develop talents.

Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez scored a hat trick for Dutch champions Feyenoord against Ajax. I'm sure he'll get picked up by some big club in the summer.

Jhon Dhuran at Villa looks like he has something. Could become a top centre forward. Quick, strong, good technique and a powerful strike.

The Burnley winger Koleosho looked promising vs us. Worth watching over the next 18 months to see if he's got some end product to go with the dribbling and pace.

Not sure if they're hidden gems or under the radar(probably not, really) but Kouadio Kone from Borussia Mönchengladbach and Khephren Thuram from Nice. Both French central midfielders, physical(tall), press resistant, great dribblers and ball carriers with good engine. Would massively help in the buildup and keeping possession, and they're decent defensively as well. They're somewhat similar to Bissouma from Tottenham(just around 5 years younger), and of course the one we couldn't get but desperately needed - Frenkie de Jong.

I mentioned this a couple of times already and will continue to until eventually they get sold(and good chance to some PL rival). I was convinced one of them, or maybe even both, was going to Liverpool this summer, but luckily it didn't happen, for now.

Santiago Gimenez with 2 more goals for us today. 12 goals in 8 matches now. If he manages to bag a few in the CL we are going to be very rich.
