#8 Luciano Vietto
Trending
The 22-year-old was once dubbed as the ‘next Sergio Aguero’ and is currently on loan at Spanish side, Sevilla. Vietto started his career at his hometown club, Independiente de Balnearia. He then joined the Argentine side, Estudiantes, but the club released him a couple of years later.
Racing offered him a lifeline and he spent four years of his career with the La Academia. He was handed his debut by none other than Diego Simeone, who was the manager of the club at that point in time, in October 2011.
After he had made his mark in Argentina, it was just a matter of time before he moved to Europe. Plenty of European clubs were interested in securing the services of the youngster, who has a lot in his arsenal including the ability to shoot with both feet, immense work-rate and sublime technique.
In the summer of 2014, he moved to Spain’s Villareal and after impressing by scoring 20 goals in 40 appearances for the club, he moved to Atletico Madrid. His first season with the club was a disappointment and Vietto will be hoping that his loan spell with Sevilla will help him rejuvenate his career. There is no reason why he can’t do that and hopefully, for Argentine football, the youngster will do justice to his talents and turn into a player to watch out for.
