Ansu Fati

  1. Age: 17
  2. Club: Barcelona

We have clearly moved on from ‘under the radar’ territory, but Fati offers Barcelona a chance to reconnect with their neglected La Masía ideals.

The academy product is skilful, quick and looks completely at ease  alongside his senior team-mates. It’s scary to think he turns 18 in October.


Kang-in Lee

  2. Club: Valencia

Valencia do not exactly provide conditions for young players to thrive, but Kang-in Lee definitely has the potential to break that ceiling.

The South Korea international is direct, technically gifted and versatile along the frontline – and could help to fill a Ferran Torres shaped hole.


Takefusa Kubo

  2. Club: Villarreal

After impressing for RCD Mallorca last term, Kubo has a chance to test himself at a higher level with Villarreal.

The Real Madrid loanee is quick, intelligent and can burst past players with ease, and could be a spark for the usually pragmatic Unai Emery.


Miguel Baeza

  2. Club: Celta Vigo

Having spent his youth career with Real Madrid, Baeza has joined Celta Vigo in search of regular first team minutes.

He boasts a glorious left foot, loves driving at defenders and finds space in his favoured number ten role. Looks perfect for Spanish football.


Unai Vencedor

Unai Vencedor – you heard it here first. Athletic Club have a rich history of producing talented youth and you’re looking at their next one.

The teenager is everything you want in a midfielder; energetic, combative, intelligent and can rifle shots from range. Bright future ahead.
