Good news for Tottenham, Aston Villa and Brentford as some of your youngsters are the best born in 2005.
That’s at least according to scout Marco Palma, who has compiled his favourite youngsters into an 11 for TMW Radio today and named three from Tottenham, Aston Villa and Brentford among them.
Aston Villa’s Kosta Nedeljkovic is the first off the blocks, having made a positive impression early on this season and seemingly fallen onto Palma’s radar too.
He’s described as ‘really strong’ with good running and ‘attention in the defensive phase’ with an ability to provide assists at the other end too.
He already cost €8m and remains valued at that price but there’s a feeling that won’t remain the case for too long.
He is described as a player who likes to cut inside as much as possible and ‘can make many assists’ as a result. He’s also labelled as ‘cold in front of the goal’, which feels slightly like a nod to Cole Palmer.
Las but not least is Brentford’s Gustavo Nunes, who arrived at the club in the summer from Gremio for €13m and is very much one for the future.
He is described as having ‘great technique and dribbling’ and may be one to keep a very close eye on in the coming weeks with Yoan Wissa set for a spell on the sidelines.
Palma certainly thinks so, backing him for an exciting future alongside the Tottenham and Aston Villa men.
The other eight named are Toulouse goalkeeper Guillaume Restes, Borussia Dortmund defender Filippo Mane, Valencia defender Yarek Gąsiorowski, Lanus left-back Julio Soler (who the scout said should be bought right now), PSV playmaker Enzo Geerts, Benfica midfielder Rafael Luis, Feyenoord midfielder Antoni Milambo, and Mainz striker Nelson Weiper.
