If you had to name your top 5 players aged under 20 who are likely to become 'world class', who would they be?
1. Keirrison (Palmeiras) - Superb 20 yr old striker with an impressive goal scoring record. At Cortiba he played 122 games and scored 60 goals and so far at Palmeiras he has played 21 games scoring 19 goals. I think in 2 or 3 years he could be considered one of the best strikers in world football.
2. Dentinho aka Bruno Bonfim (Corinthians) - Another fantastic 20 yr old brazilian striker who has an impressive goal scoring record. At Corinthians he has so far played 96 games and scored 30 goals. He is quick, strong, skillfull and obviously has an eye for goal.
3. Douglas Costa (Gremio) - Another brazilian, this time a skillfull midfielder with a great free kick. Douglas is a top prospect who has already been dubbed "the new Ronaldinho". He has great vision, passing range, pace and the ability to drift past opponents at will. Aged 18.
4. Bojan Krkic (FC Barcelona) - 18 year old Spanish striker with an impressive goal scoring record, especially at youth level. Technically superb but we are yet to see the best of him in a Barca shirt, though when he matures and develops we are likely to see a natural footballer that thrives on goals.
5. Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid) - Incredible to think that Aguero is still only 20 as he seems to have been around for ages having made his debut for Independiente at just 15. Quick, strong for a little man, great movement and scores goals. Has a great future ahead of him.
Obviously i am a fan of South American Football, but don't let that fool you into thinking that was a biased choice. I truely believe these are some of the best prospects in world Football.
