![]() They’re getting in 18-year-old loanees from Rapid Vienna and handing them the number 11 jersey, as worn by the likes of Rivaldo, Neymar Júnior, and Overmars. Give the man a raise.īarcelona is a fun house right now. They pay him just €100 a week by the looks of it. His U17 credentials-eight goals in seven appearances, with two assists, all in just 94 minutes of playtime-speaks for itself. Make that your problem, not Klopp’s.Īt the cheaper, doesn’t-even-have-a-Wikipedia-page-yet, but-has-suspiciously-staged-YouTube-clips end is AZ Alkmaar’s, Addai. He has plenty of time to recover and fulfil his huge potential. Liverpool’s, Elliott, who exploded onto our screens at the start of the season before succumbing to the Liverpool injury curse, had survived and thrived in the Championship, chipping in with seven goals from the wing while on loan at Blackburn. The summer’s trauma hasn’t ruined him, and his next deal will be worth a lot more than his current 30k a week, so this is probably the last time that you can, realistically, call him a bargain. If you have to spend money, here’s a proven Arsenal and England regular who’s only going to get better. He’s only made three Serie A appearances, but never mind the quality, feel the width. ![]() Especially while there’s a new 16-year-old at AC Milan with a 150-159 PA who's earning €200 a week. If you can afford 120k or 184k a week wages, you don’t need to go through the potential bin to find finished articles. The inclusion of Vinícus Júnior and Hudson-Odoi on most wonderkids list is a bit laughable. I’d bet the farm on him fulfilling that 170-179 PA, and that 20k a week wage will look like a bargain. Then he was suddenly offloaded to Leipzig at a discount €16million… I’m betting that given Barca’s financial travails, this wasn’t entirely voluntary. He's the 5th youngest ever goalscorer and seemed to be the perfect replacement for Busquets. Moriba Kourouma Kourouma, aka Ilaix Moriba, aka the Guinean Pogba, arrived at Barca from Espanyol aged seven, and rose through the junior levels to play 14 times for the senior side after taking the step up in 2021. His contract is terrible though-it looks like he’s on minimum wage. He signed his first professional contract in March and became Sporting’s youngest ever first team debutante just four days later. He went from the Portuguese U15s to the U19s in two years. Unlike Koke, Sporting Lisbon’s Essugo has the potential to go all the way to the very top. But have you crafted the youth setup to get the best out of him? Someone, somewhere has seen him play, though, and thinks he could be something special. He has played once, this year, for the Spanish U17s. He has played precisely zero times for his mother club, Real Valladolid. Not the Athletico captain, but Jorge Iglesias González-aka Koke. The younger brother is now eclipsing his older sibling in terms of potential, though, with a PA of 150-159. Gonçalo and his brother Tomás are both classed as wonderkids at Sporting Lisbon and Porto respectively. ![]() Premier League wages are high, but despite a 25-times increase on last year, they aren’t ridiculous. The Saints know a thing or two about youth development though and have placed him straight into the first team, boosting that all-important PA. That is to say, move from the youth team facilities to the senior squad pitches at Cobham, but they were of a mind to slap a £25million buy-back clause on his deal with Southampton. Tino didn’t "cross the road" as they say at Chelsea. But he doesn't have any red or yellow cards logged with the U18 Divisie 1. It wouldn’t be the first time a wonderkid didn’t really exist, but he hasn’t played much for his new club if he does. He’s on Feyenoord's books and his PA is 130-160, or at least that’s what FM22 tells us. He was sold by Zagreb for €16million and he’s on 20k a week, so this isn't a cheap option. RB Leipzig aren’t popular in the Bundesliga, so make a simulated German fan happy by stealing away Red Bull’s top-rated Croatian wonderkid. He’s getting games, but got heavily beaten by Inter recently and has had a spell in the U19s, perhaps to get his confidence back. He has 77 first team games under his belt, he’s a Champions League regular this season, and he’s been a fixture for France at junior level.īologna’s right-footed centre-back is Serie A’s youngest-ever player. Last call on Monaco’s up-and-coming defender who has doubled his wages in the last 12 months.
