@Gaucho0378 C’est le label Elite, attribué par la Pro League, qui détermine cela. Chaque club obtient des points sur la base de critères objectifs : nombre et qualité du personnel de l’école des jeunes (licence UEFA), infrastructures, progression des jeunes en équipe A, etc.

Already linked with Ligue 1 clubs last season, Adem Zorgane will likely be on the radar of multiple clubs from Europe's top 5 leagues in the coming transfer window. A little thread on why the Algerian from Charleroi is arguably the best central midfielder in the Belgian League.

🇧🇪 Johan Bakayoko has now scored in 6 Eredivisie games in a row.

He has 20 goal contributions in 30 Eredivisie games this season.

As per @fbref he makes the most progressive carries (188) in the Eredivisie in 2023/24.

Brilliant with the ball at his feet and capable of making an impact in the final third.

He’s one to watch.

I spoke to his former academy coach last week about the ins and outs of his game.

@BelgianPodcast @CIES_Football They only published the top 10 values by league, the values itself are calculated through an econometric model that's quite predictive. Of course everything is very volatile and subjective by nature ("what a fool would pay")
