Correa is someone whom Argentine fans would hope they can look up to in the future, as he is one of the brightest prospects of Argentine football. Correa’s childhood was far from happy as he lost his father and brother before the age of 12. He had the mental strength to recover from that and move to Buenos Aires to join San Lorenzo’s youth system.

He made his debut for the senior team in March 2013 and racked up 12 goals and 17 assists for them before moving to Spain with Atletico Madrid. He could make his debut only after a year as he had to undergo surgery to remove a heart tumour.

The 21-year-old is a skilful player who is hard to defend against and has a fine first touch. Correa has found the back of the net 11 times for Atletico Madrid and he scored at the Camp Nou last month helping his side to salvage a point.

The youngster has been called up to the national team five times and his solo goal came in the 7-0 demolition of Bolivia in an international friendly.
