Everybody is out there looking for the next big thing … so who has impressed us at OneFootball this season?
Not to be mistaken with older brother Keven, Nico Schlotterbeck is quickly becoming one of the most in-demand centre backs across European football.
SC Freiburg continue to impress in the Bundesliga – they currently sit fifth with the third best defensive record – and the 22-year-old has been central to that.
He is assured in possession, aggressive in his defensive work and has eyes for goal, which has seen him feature for the German national team under Hansi Flick.
When Pep Guardiola is calling you “one of the best players in the world”, you are doing something right and Matheus Nunes deserves all the praise he’s getting.
The Sporting midfielder has been crucial to Os Leões’ success under Ruben Amorim, playing either as the deep six or more advanced box-to-box eight.
The 23-year-old is also developing an eye for goal on top of his natural leadership qualities, which makes him an exciting prospect for buyers this summer.
Colombia seems to have a penchant for producing mercurial left wingers named Luis, because following in the footsteps of Díaz is Luis Sinisterra.
The 22-year-old has been a standout for Feyenoord this season after returning from a serious knee injury, scoring 13 goals and assisting five across all competitions.
With speed, skill and strength all part of his game, and links to top European clubs already surfacing, expect the Cafeteros winger to move on this summer.
