5 Spanish youngsters who could make the World Cup squad

Alvaro Morata

Finally given a well deserved starting role on Saturday, Alvaro Morata is in with an unlikely shout of making Spain’s World Cup squad. The talent Morata has is undoubted as he has proven the Spain Under 21 coach and Carlo Ancelotti wrong in the space of six months. Morata is a goalscorer, coming off the bench to great effect during the Under 21 Championships and for Madrid over the past two seasons. He’s a fearless player who generates an impact like Javier Hernandez does at Manchester United when coming off the bench. Although behind plenty of world class strikers at the moment, including at Madrid, if he can continue to improve his knack of coming off the bench to score then VDB would have to consider taking Morata. If injuries and poor form continue for Spain up front then Morata could be the one to inject life into Spain late on in games and play without fear at the pinnacle of world football.
