Ardaiz is targetting a move to the Premier League in the near future

Age: 18

Club: Royal Antwerp

Position: Striker

Nationality: Uruguayan

Uruguay has a great history when it comes to legendary strikers. 18-year-old Joaquin Ardaiz is the next in line to continue a legacy of lethal marksmen like Edinson Cavani, Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan.

The young starlet made his professional debut in February 2016 before transferring to Belgian outfit Royal Antwerp in 2017. Playing for the U20s, the striker is yet to make it into Uruguay's first team.

Ardaiz is a typical fox in the box forward who's always well-positioned to score goals. He has a crisp left foot and a tall stature reminiscent of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Good in the air and known for his clinical finishing abilities, the striker is a fan of the Premier League.
