The praise Ross Wilson gets from some fans is bemusing. I won't say he's a fraud officially (but he is) Lol
He gets credit for things he never did like Murillo to Forest. Rangers & Saints fans were glad to see the back of him. He’s only here to give the Howe's full control. Nickson was also clearly frozen out, which is why he left.
Unfortunately, alot of casual football fans about now.
Look at his resume: champion at Vélez and Newell's (they literally named the stadium after him), being the 1st Latin American team to win the Olympic title in football since 1928 with Argentina, completely transformed Chilean football, took Bilbao to a European final, and brought Leeds back to the Prem.
People either know the game or they don't!!
@SandvikensIF Christian Wagner (23) continuing his Thisted form. The Danish striker has 10 goals in 11 games for Sandviken IF so far this season in the Swedish Superettan 🇸🇪
One to watch after a strong start 🇩🇰
The J1 League still feels like a massively untapped market for European clubs 🇯🇵
These 4 have stood out to me lately & look primed to head overseas soon:
1️⃣ Rui Araki (Gamba Osaka)
2️⃣ Ryunosuke Sato (FC Tokyo)
3️⃣ Yumeki Yokoyama (Cerezo Osaka)
4️⃣ Higashi Shunki (Sanfrecce Hiroshima)
1️⃣ Rui Araki (GK | 18) Massive 1.94m frame with elite reflexes. Impressive composure under pressure, starring in Gamba's historic Asian CL2 trophy win. Top tier modern goalkeeping prospect. Currently representing Japan U-21 national team squad.
2️⃣ Ryunosuke Sato (AM | 19) Traditional, high IQ technical playmaker. Finished the campaign with 6 goals & 17 chances created. Unfortunate to miss out on the World Cup.
3️⃣ Yumeki Yokoyama (LW | 20) Finished the domestic season in great form with 4 goals, proving to be an explosive, progressive dribbler who unbalances low blocks in 1v1 situations. Like Araki, his form earned him a call-up to the current Japan U-21 European tour.
4️⃣ Higashi Shunki (LWB/LM | 25) Highly versatile, mature operator who comfortably covers the entire left side as a LB, LWB, or LM. He was a constant danger throughout the campaign with his crossing and set-piece delivery, racking up 7 assists/3 goals. Profile is tailor made for a European move to Belgium or Scotland.
Junnosuke Suzuki turned out to be the next one from Japan 🇯🇵
After his big move to Europe with Danish Superliga side FC København, the 22-year-old scored his first professional goal, which proved to be the winner 👏👏
And now Zadok Yohanna's gone to Brighton 🔵⚪️ The perfect move for his development.
Chelsea would’ve been a disaster, and as a Newcastle fan, it's frustrating we were too slow to react. Brilliant business for AIK as well, hopefully they use that cash wisely 🇳🇬
I’ve been tracking Zadok Yohanna’s progress since he arrived in Sweden last year. Seeing him translate that raw potential into these recent 1st team performances has been a joy to watch 🇸🇪
Bad result for AIK today, but Zadok was a bright spark again, another assist after taking his man on. That's 9 G/A (5 goals/4 assists) in just 10 starts for the 18-year-old . He’s a nightmare for full-backs 1v1 and a massive threat in the air. One of the most exciting Nigerian prospects in Europe right now 💎🇳🇬
Nartey 🇩🇰 went to Lyon 🇫🇷
Bischoff 🇩🇰 went to RB Salzburg 🇦🇹
Lamba 🇵🇹 went St Etienne ����🇷
Nazinho 🇵🇹 set to join Monaco 🇫🇷
Only Taras Mykhavko left at Dynamo Kyiv. He finished the season with a goal to cap off a brilliant year. Consistently showed why he's in the top 3 performing CBs in the world in his age group.
Expecting him to get the biggest move of them all very soon.... ⏳🇺🇦
The usual big name players like Quenda, Guerra, Agoume, Woltemade, Flamingo will be getting all the headlines but so many little gems in this Euros u21's.
Taras Mykhavko 🇺🇦
Nazinho 🇵🇹
Clement Bischoff 🇩🇰
Chico Lamba 🇵🇹
Noah Nartey 🇩🇰
@Aucas45 Add Snayder Porozo (19) to the list of promising talents coming through at Aucas.
A sensational month for him. Let’s see if he can maintain these levels over the coming weeks👀🇪🇨
@radaibeatboxer That's a really interesting point concerning Lee. I can see him copying the Byeon Jun-soo blueprint.
With Lee going to Gimcheon Sangmu once Byeon completes his army service and returns to Jeonbuk in July 2027.
I've always enjoyed watching the K League 2 and tracking its development 🇰🇷
Here are 4 players who have caught my eye these last months:
1️⃣ Ko Jong-hyun (Suwon Bluewings | 20)
2️⃣ Kim Dae-hwan (Hwaseong | 21)
3️⃣ Lee Hyeon-yong (Suwon | 22)
4️⃣ Ha Jung-woo (Suwon | 20)
1️⃣ Ko Jong-hyun (CB)
High press-resistant and effective in 1v1 duels. Combines physical strength with good composure on the ball. Played a key role in todays win.
2️⃣ Kim Dae-hwan (RB/LW/RWB/LWB/RM)
Highly versatile, switches between left and right flanks fluidly mid-game. Defensively robust on both sides while providing a direct forward threat with goals and assists.
3️⃣ Lee Hyeon-yong (CB)
Composed in build-up play with stable positional awareness. Uses his large frame to dominate aerial duels.
4️⃣ Ha Jung-woo (CF)
Solid physical profile, notable performance in the recent Suwon Derby. 5 goals & 1 assist in 12 games so far this season.
Kim Gun-hee, absolute beast aerially today for Incheon.
Alot of talent at CB coming out of 🇰🇷 at the moment, interesting to see how they all continue to progress..
Seo Myeong-kwan - Ulsan
Shin Min-ha - Gangwon
Kang Min-woo - Ulsan
Ko Jong-hyun - Bluewings
Lee Hyeon-yong - Suwon
Jayder Asprilla (23) is proving exactly why he was ready to jump to the next level. Since signing for FC Sheriff Tiraspol, he's bagged 9 goals & 3 assists in 14 games, including the clinical opening strike that helped crown them Moldovan Cup Champions over the weekend 🏆
FC Sheriff famously shocked Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Champions League just a few years ago. Beyond those historic nights, the club has established itself as a proven stepping stone for talent and their recent trophy win officially secures their spot in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers 🇪🇺🇲🇩
Asprilla is in the perfect environment to continue developing 🇨🇴
@FotclubSheriff
Jayder Asprilla masterclass once again for Real Cundinamarca today, bagging a brilliant brace, his 2nd goal in particular was impressive 🔥🔥
He looks ready to make the jump to the next level now for sure 🇨🇴
