3 sizzling football prospects to watch out for

Gerard Deulofeu

Joining FC Barcelona’s academy which has created fantastic talents such as Xavi, Iniesta and not to mention one of the best today Lionel Messi, Gerard Deulofeu is a player who scouts and managers alike should keep an eye on. He can play on either side of the flanks and also as a striker, right wing being his preferred position. He is a player who can be a future star and has scored 18 goals for Barcelona B in the 2012-13 season.

Having made a stunning debut in the Premier League for Everton by scoring a goal, Gerard Deulofeu is no doubt another Spanish youngster who promises to be full of surprises. He has great shooting accuracy, has good agility, fantastic dribbling skills and can score from the narrowest angles. He is a wonderful attacker and shows lot of promise raising the bar for youngsters as he is only 19.

Nick Powell

Having scored 9 goals and getting 2 assists in 24 games is absolutely stunning for a 19-year-old, not to mention the 3 goals from 5 games in the Europa league. Nick Powell is undoubtedly one of the forthcoming talents of English football and is sure to impress because his goals aren’t based on luck.

His absolutely brilliant attacking prowess, stunning shots and unexpected chips are a threat to any goalkeeper. He is a long range specialist, is good with through balls and is a star in progress. He knows when to volley, and he does it beautifully. He is always alert and places himself in excellent positions, and has great poaching abilities as well which makes him the perfect forward. He gives versatility a whole new meaning, being able to play as a CM, CAM, RW and a supporting striker.

He seems to be one who can blend into any team because he has already been an important player at Wigan Athletic where he is on a loan spell. Not to mention, he may be in the Manchester United starting eleven along with Adnan Januzaj before you know it.

Jese Rodriguez

Touted to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo, he is undoubtedly someone who plays like him. He is fast, good with tricks and an excellent dribbler who doesn’t go down easily. He can take set pieces and is a good product of the Real Madrid youth academy. His favorite position being on the left wing isn’t a surprise considering he follows Ronaldo’s style of play, but he can also play on the right, as well as a striker.

This season’s stats don’t show much because he has been playing as a substitute most of the time, but his performances for Real Madrid Castilla have been electric, and he is someone I am looking forward to seeing become a regular in the Madrid line up in the future.

I know I have missed other players who are good enough to be here, but these three players are sure to make it to the big stage with ease if they are consistent enough. They should be retained by their clubs without any doubt and that shouldn’tbe too hard considering the fact that they are full of natural talent.
