Shortlist: World Cup U17 2025
In need of new players to add to your scouting lists? Look no further.
A new, revamped edition of the U17 World Cup took place in Qatar last November, including 48 countries!! That obviously opens up the possibility of getting to know tons of players, but also makes it incredibly hard to keep track of all of them. That’s what I set out to do, watching all but one of the playoff games (unavailable at FIFA’s streaming service) and a few of the group stage ones.
Led by the likes of Mauro Furtado, Mateus Mide and Anísio Cabral, European champions Portugal shone once again, cementing their place as one of the most talented under-17 generations, Austria made a surprise run to the final (trashing England in the process) and African countries like Uganda and Burkina Faso took their chance to impress, ahead of powerhouses Mali and Senegal.
A preliminary list with more than 100 names led me to a final one with 65 players from 22 different countries. This time, I’ve opted for making shorter descriptions, sometimes just putting some of mine translated raw notes. Let’s dive into it.
GK — Chouaib Bellaarouch (2008, Académie Mohammed VI)
A goalkeeper with an impressive wingspan, comfortable when claiming crosses, proactive in controlling depth and, although somewhat inconsistent under the goal, has the explosiveness and the speed to make saves at close range.
GK — Ethan Muramatsu Scally (2008, Los Angeles FC)
The Japanese goalkeeper appears shorter in stature/wingspan, but he doesn’t shy away from leaving his goal to intervene, adding lots of defensive actions outside his own box. Fairly quick when engaging strikers and swift to react.
GK — João Pedro (2008, Santos)
Listed at 1.99m at just 17 years old, João Pedro opens up his body nicely to make saves and tends to use his legs to do so as well. Coupled with good explosiveness, his athletic profile favors remarkable performances in penalty saves. His distribution tends to be shorter, within his own field and directed towards both flanks.
GK — Rahim Ouatarra (2008, Colma AC)
A very proactive goalkeeper, generally reliable in his actions when collecting low crosses and clearing aerial balls. Ouatarra also got a good reaction time to make saves at close range. Had a pretty solid tournament overall, until squandering a goal kick and conceding to Italy in the knockout phase.
GK — Vincent Gomis (2008, Génération Foot)
Gomis is very much a modern profile of what elite goalkeepers look like today: proactive when dealing with saves, long balls and/or crosses. Furthermore, he’s always looking to get involved in the build-up phases, comfortable with the ball at his feet. His short distribution is good, but he’s still inconsistent in medium and long passes.
CB — Abdoulaye Nassoko (2008, Metz)
A defender well-suited to playing as a wide cb in a three-man defense, Nassoko got the speed to cover or match a winger/forward run in the channels, acceleration to anticipate passes and calmness to play out the back with the ball under control.
CB — Anthony Motosuna (2009, Kashima Antlers)
A right-sided defender in a back three, Motosuna makes excellent use of his physique (very tall, long strides) to gain advantages in aerial duels and to anticipate and regain possession up the pitch. He’s got an aggressive profile when defending, constantly jumping to challenge opponents far from the penalty area, forcing contact from behind or using his leg to disrupt and win duels.
CB — Asuto Fujita (2008, Kawasaki Frontale)
Alongside Motosuna, there’s Fujita, the Japanese CCB who usually drops back to provide defensive cover. Almost always positioned further back than his teammates, he reads the game quickly to initiate movement and clear passes.
He’s a shorter defender (1.80m), but possesses excellent jumping reach and is fairly aggressive when dealing with long balls: two things that sets him up for success in aerial duels. His distribution is predominantly short and sideways, but there’s potential as a connector of long diagonal passes to both flanks.
CB — El Hadji Cissé (2008, Be Sport → AC Milan)
A physically strong defender with tremendous jumping ability and power to clear aerial balls, Cissé is great at defending his own box. He also frequently goes to ground for longer tackles and alternates between positive and negative moments in build-up play; attempts to break lines with passes through the center.
CB — Erblin Sadikaj (2008, Luzern)
Sadikaj is a well balanced defender that can perform a good variety of defensive actions, ranging from pressing and anticipating up the pitch, holding position to defend his own box and also in coverage of another defender. Attempts to direct clearances so that his team maintains possession of the ball and makes good recovery runs to block shots or passes when initially beaten.
CB — Gil Zufferey (2008, Young Boys)
A left-footed CB that funnels passes between the lines, finding teammates in advantageous situations. Zufferey can be guilty of not always forcing contact behind opponents when jumping (keeps distance, allows body turns) and is probably more suited to a covering role. Interceptions are generally not well-directed and, although efficient in covering, he isn’t always in total control.
CB — Ifeanyi Ndukwe (2008, Austria Wien → Liverpool)
Ndukwe is tall and imposing in aerial duels and his long strides favors tackles in otherwise unexpected scenarios. Even though he is not a very explosive defender, he presents himself well when running backwards, usually diagonally to one of the flanks. His clearance accuracy could improve; contact with the ball doesn’t allow him to clear plays clearly, resulting in some loose clearances here and there.
Furthermore, he struggles to use his physical profile to gain an advantage in ground duels: not only does he frequently avoid physical contact, but he’s sometimes also kinda late to apply pressure. The new Liverpool defender tends to plant his base, delaying changes of direction and allowing easier attacks behind the defense. There’s potential due to his incredible physical profile, but also lots to work on.
CB — Issouf Dabo (2009, New Stars FC)
A quick defender, with a good burst of acceleration. Dabo’s long legs allow for easier tackles and there’s potential as a ball-playing CB: we can see positive intentions with low and vertical passes, despite his inconsistent performance with possession. Sometimes he clears the ball away quickly, other times he dribbles and plays on, breaking lines. Great height and jumping ability to handle aerial plays.
CB — Jakob Pokorny (2008, FC Liefering)
A standout defender in long coverage, always vigilant to control the space behind the nearest full-back and with good timing to accelerate, delaying opponents when possible. Pokorny is very good at using his body to protect the ball (draws fouls, prevents opponents from getting ahead) and unbalance opponents. Responsible for long throw-ins.
CB — Leon Jakirović (2008, Dinamo Zagreb → Internazionale)
Leon Jakirovic, recently signed by Internazionale, was the second best ball-playing CB on display in Qatar. A left-footed defender with extraordinary talent for playing with the ball at his feet: capable of breaking lines with passes through the center (including using his right foot) and connecting long balls (remarkable passing technique), parallel or diagonally. Defensively, he adopts an aggressive stance.
CB — Luca Reggiani (2008, Borussia Dortmund)
A right-footed playing left-sided center-back, he predominantly uses his dominant foot to control the ball and add touches when dribbling, in addition to passing—in low-pressure situations, can work with his left foot to pass. A covering defender, Reggiani gains ground quickly with long strides and possesses excellent timing for getting his foot in and making tackles. Good at clearing long balls in midfield and in aerial duels. Clearances inside the penalty area are not always clean, due to a lack of better contact with the ball.
CB — Luccas Ramon (2008, Palmeiras)
Aggressive defender, seeks contact behind the attacker, even far from the penalty area, to unbalance him and win duels. Uses momentum to clear long passes in the air. Top acceleration and speed when running backwards. Long diagonal runs connecting opposite wingers.
CB — Mauro Landim Furtado (2008, Benfica)
Mauro is an outstanding player, a left-footed CB, superb with the ball at his feet and a build-up specialist, be it with long carries or any type of pass (also uses his non-dominant foot). Constantly dribbles centrally to gain space before passing or driving towards the opponent’s half. When setting up players on the wing, he tends to play the ball into open space for them to attack on the run. As a bonus, he’s also a corner kick taker! When was the last time you saw a defender taking a corner?
CB — Talla Ndiaye (2008, Amitié → Liverpool)
A left-footed defender, Ndiaye controls and completes passes using his non-dominant foot quite satisfactorily. Good repertoire of passes, handles pressure situations well and prefers to play out from the back with short passes.
Defensively, Ndiaye combines anticipation (accelerating to gain space in front of the attacker) and coverage (speed and reading the play to clear the ball). His long legs extend his range of action for defensive tasks.
CB — Wout Gielen (2008, Juventus)
Another left-footed defender of exceptional quality with the ball at his feet, capable of breaking lines with low, vertical passes or setting up wingers with long balls, either diagonally or parallel. Can also dribble his way out of pressure.
FB — Ângelo (2008, Strasbourg)
An attacking full-back, he actively participates in the final third, completing passes into the box and focusing on crosses and passes into the penalty area. Frequently hits the byline, attacks space and shoots across goal from the right half-space. Not the most reliable defender of crosses to the back post.
FB — Daniel Banjaqui (2008, Benfica)
A long-striding fullback with top acceleration in the first few meters, Banjaqui has the strength to maintain contact and turn while keeping possession of the ball. Furthermore, he makes many overlapping runs, either in the wide areas (without the ball) or through the middle (with the ball). He’s a player who tends to carry the ball inside, from the defensive third — feints a parallel pass and cuts inside before starting to dribble. Upon entering the attacking half, display good pass selection.
FB — José Neto (2008, Benfica)
A player with good athletic ability (played 90 minutes in almost every match) and strong in individual duels. He makes overlapping runs down the wing to deliver crosses after receiving the ball in open space: usually at waist height, with little output. Body orientation and timing of shared defensive responsibilities looks good, with great control of his stride to shift. Anticipates and intercepts.
FB — Mikael Coulibaly (2008, Rèal du Faso)
A very quick full-back, with good timing to jump and press the winger with his back to goal, preventing comfortable turns or controls. Defends well against switches of play behind him, his height favoring such actions. Accelerates quickly when making offensive overlaps and tends to play out from the back with parallel passes to the winger, but has a low success rate with these actions.
FB — Moncef Zekri (2008, KV Mechelen)
An attacking minded full-back, known for his short dribbles and attacking space (with and without the ball), mainly down the flanks. Also progresses well from vertical passes down the line. Efficient set-piece taker. Played as a winger too, although with much less impact on the game.
FB — Simon Escobar (2009, Vélez Sarsfield)
A very skillful full-back, super comfortable working in tight spaces. Accumulates dribbles and runs from outside to the inside after receiving the ball wide on the wing, and draws many fouls. Strong dominance of his right foot in all his actions. Shows some difficulty dealing with crosses to the far post (conceding two goals in this way). Aggressive tackling stance.
CM — Abdoulaye Camara (2008, Udinese)
A defensive midfielder whose role is to mainly distribute the ball, Camara rarely gives away possession under pressure. Positions himself between the lines, offering a passing option for the first line of defense to advance. Good hip mobility for turning his body and driving forward. Dribbles well under pressure. Makes diagonal through passes to find a winger in space. Frequently completes first-time passes to accelerate transitions. Dives to dispossess opponents with sliding tackles.
CM — Andrea Luongo (2008, Torino)
Luongo is a midfielder that likes to drift to the left flank, either receiving passes or attacking space. Generally involved in the middle/final third of the field, commonly touches the ball closer to the opponent’s penalty area, producing many passes leading to shots. Dribbles with his right foot before carrying the ball forward.
CM — Believe Munongo (2009, Metz)
Long stride midfielder, stretches his leg out and makes tackles even when taking positions behind his opponent. Positions himself between the lines or advanced through the half-space on the right, with little involvement in the build-up and a few attacking runs into the box. Uncomfortable under pressure and receiving the ball with his back to goal, predominantly plays short passes with little risk when called upon.
CM — Cristian Orozco (2008, Fortaleza CEIF)
Defensive midfielder of short anticipations to regain possession: moves from side to side to shorten the distance and prepare; good spatial awareness. Movements between the defenders to close space and intercept. Short passes with the outside of the foot to break lines, usually after body movement, predominantly with the right foot. Despite being short, good acceleration in the first few meters.
CM — Issa Koné (2008, Africa Foot)
A very agile midfielder (mobility to turn his body around and move to change direction with the ball under control), capable of breaking lines with dribbles and short passes. Good movement behind the pressing line, but he generally takes fewer risks.
Reacts very quickly to apply pressure when he notices inconsistent touches, using his impressive acceleration in the first few meters and surprising with how fast he gains ground to dispossess opponents and initiate transitions.
CM — Jill Stiel (2008, FC Zürich)
Alternates positions within a midfield duo, but predominantly gets the ball between the lines. Good touches for control, agility in body movements. Initial contact with the ball is positive, after mapping out the space behind the defense; can punch vertical passes. Directs the ball, advances, and finishes. Ability to conceal passing intentions and create opportunities for teammates near the penalty area.
CM — Kamohelo Maraletse (2008, Mamelodi Sundowns)
Comfortable turning under pressure, including dribbling with his back to goal. Good distribution. Pushes the team forward with short passes and dribbles, potential as a distributor and creator from passes. Uses body feints to gain space in possession, changes direction with shoulder play.
CM — Marco Libra (2008, Udinese)
Midfielder that scans frequently and anticipates body turns when controlling passes to overcome pressure on his back, has the ability to work in tight spaces. Constantly moving around, especially behind the first line of pressure, to offer alternatives to the defensive line in build-up phases; spatial awareness to allow passes to go through him. Doesn’t restrict himself to the initial third, playing one-twos and moving into advanced zones to continue pushing the team forward.
CM — Rafael Quintas (2008, Benfica)
Deep-lying midfielder, heavily involved in build-up play, connects attacks with passes from side to side and tracks back and forth in a more conservative positioning (helps his team to win back second balls). Dribbles under pressure to maintain possession. Likes to play long, parallel passes (over the top) when receiving the ball from defenders in low-pressure situations. Sometimes, moves into the final third to create chances with lobbed passes to the wingers. Defensively, his game is based on covering wide to dispossess opponents and take control of the play. Strong in the air.
CM — Santiago Espíndola (2008, River Plate)
Floats behind the first line of pressure to receive the ball in build-up play, constantly moving to offer passing options and signaling to receive it at his feet. Upon receiving the ball, continues moving and selects passes well, even breaking lines; can improve the weight of his longer passes, though. Rotates with two other players in midfield, sometimes occupying advanced zones and even attacking the box.
CM — Tiago (2008, Grêmio)
A developing midfielder: drops back close to the defenders, moves wide, receives the ball between the lines… everything to facilitate progression through passes. A mobile and very agile player. Dribbles, carries the ball well, and generally positions himself further forward than his midfield partner. Takes corners and free kicks into the penalty area, delivering well weighted crosses.
CM — Vasilije Markovic (2008, Austria Wien)
Markovic offers a great mix of height/body type and acceleration allows him to gain ground quickly and be efficient when jumping to intercept or moving to provide cover. Wins lots of duels using his body and absorbing physical contact.
He’s not a midfielder who makes a high volume of passes per game or the most technically gifted of them all, but still manages to contribute offensively —generally, his most significant contributions come from diagonal passes to speed up transitions, and there’s room for improvement in the weight of those passes.
CM — Vincenzo Prisco (2008, Napoli)
A midfielder with short distribution skills, always on the move, completes vertical passes with his non-dominant foot. Receives the ball directly from the goalkeeper to initiate build-up play from goal kicks, tracks the ball during build-up, moving from side to side. Quick thinking: receives the ball, progresses with few touches — facilitated by constant scanning movements. Defensive awareness to recover possession and cut off transitions.
CM — Zé Lucas (2008, Sport)
A midfielder with good tackling technique and eagerness to collect second balls and/or intercept, restarting the team’s passing cycle. Moves with great agility, turns his body easily (usually does so to overcome pressure in the opposite direction, facing away from the opposition goal).
Typically, he uses a short, low-risk distribution and rarely gives up possession. He has shown quality in breaking lines with vertical passes (could work on the weight of his most ambitious passes), and could be encouraged to repeat this more often.
AM — Felipe Morais (2008, Cruzeiro)
A very active attacking midfielder in the defensive phase, frequently presses and regains possession in the final third. Solid technical foundation, very good at controlling the ball to finish quickly when near the penalty area. Lots of attacking runs into the box during the finishing phase, preferring to arrive late rather than stay. Central carries with good first touches after receiving the ball. Good reading of the game to spot through balls, but his execution leaves something to be desired.
AM — Gabriel Mec (2008, Grêmio)
An extremely agile attacking midfielder with excellent ball control, he stands out for changing directions at ease, combining short dribbles (good use of his non-dominant foot) and carries into the attacking third. He’s a smooth dribbler and likes to take on defenders every time he gets the ball. Possesses technical skills way above average.
AM — Ibrahim Diakité (2008, JMG Bamako)
An agile, silky and skillful midfielder with constant movements to receive the ball, he wants to be heavily involved in the team’s passing game, taking positions everywhere across the pitch: offering to feet, completing short passes, and creating space in one-two combos. Plays with quick passes to progress.
Opens up his body pretty nicely when receiving and uses various body feints to create space before driving forward or dribbling with his right foot. Reaffirms his qualities for creating attacking chances and is also a very efficient set-piece taker.
AM — Mateus Mide (2008, Porto)
A technically refined, highly skilled midfielder, likes to play short combinations and has an eye for creating chances with through balls. Pops up all over the pitch in the final third, drifting into the half-spaces (right or left) to influence the game, even getting into the penalty area to shoot.
AM — Mladen Mijajlovic (2008, Freiburg)
A creative left-footed midfielder, puts teammates in good positions with diagonal passes, whether from outside to inside or vice versa. Controls and dribbles primarily using his dominant foot, keeping the ball close to him, but can ping crosses into the box with his right foot too. Constantly moving around both flanks, hitting the box diagonally, via carries.
AM — Muhammad Zongo (2009, Cascades)
Attacking midfielder, drops deep to receive the ball, turning and pushing his team forward with passes. Left-footed, uses diagonal passes to trigger overlapping runs, creates chances from through balls, working at any given angle. Good at relieving pressure by passes or holding the ball himself. He’s a risk-taker, so will concede possession a few times, but the value he brings certainly overtakes that for his team.
AM — Samuele Inácio (2008, Borussia Dortmund)
A central attacking midfielder of good mobility for height/profile, drifts into the left side of the pitch to combine with teammates, turn, and launch passes. Can dribble his way out of pressure, carrying the ball forward, and his first touches are generally ‘positive’, using them to play the ball in the opposite direction of his marker, accelerating to drive into the opponent’s half. Shows good versatility when dribbling, attacking the area along the byline to cross with his left foot, but when in central areas, prefers dribbling with his dominant foot.
Also has a strong tendency to finish with low shots, aiming for the far corner.
AM — Seydou Dembélé (2008, JMG Bamako)
Attacking midfielder, generally receives passes in central and/or right-sided zones, allowing him to angle inside and work with his left foot. Comfortable in tight spaces, uses short dribbles and body turns with great agility to beat pressure, attempts long diagonal passes from the outside to create chances and frequently shoots from medium range. Most of his actions happen using his dominant foot and often uses the outside of it to adjust/reposition the ball before playing a pass.
W — Adrien Llukes (2008, FC Sion)
Inverted winger, right-footed playing off the left. Not a very explosive or fast player, his selling point is creating chances for others, including via through balls. Racks up predominantly short dribbles from the wing, using his right foot to attack the central zone; waits for the opponent to plant his feet, then changes direction to bypass him. Technical skills suited for short and quick combinations; combines well with overlapping full-backs.
W — Emile Witbooi (2008, Cape Town City)
A winger suited for dribbling and short combinations. Creates plays from the left flank, primarily using his dominant right foot and frequently attempts diagonal through balls, with mixed results. Good eye for a pass, could do a better job of executing them. Struggles to create space against defenders: higher potential as a creative winger than an isolation, 1v1 winger.
W — Hasan Deshishku (2008, Austria Wien)
A right-sided winger who moves into more central areas during offensive phases, and likes to attack the penalty area time after time: offers a great amount of runs, with and without the ball, to get into the box. Can withstands challenges (good at using his arm to push defenders away) when carrying the ball and has also shown a willingness to use his non-dominant foot to control or finish.
W — Hubert Yao (2009, San Pedro)
A winger who thrives in large spaces, holding width and getting the ball close to the touchline, already in the attacking half. Quite fast, tall (very long strides), capable of accelerating over long distances to beat nearby markers; uses longer touches to exploit his own speed, rather than short dribbles. Worked pretty nicely with a flying full-back too. Could also be used as a striker, targeting the box with diagonal runs off both sides.
W — Johannes Moser (2008, RB Salzburg)
As a left winger, usually operates in the half-space, attacking the box with the ball under control or making penetrating runs. Frequently finishes on the edge of the box, either with his right or left foot. In addition to his finishing, Moser also looks to set up teammates with passes when entering the penalty area and absorbs contact reasonably well, keeping possession.
As a bonus, he’s an excellent penalty taker.
W — Mathis Albert (2009, Borussia Dortmund)
Extremely fast and explosive, capable of repeatedly beating opponents with long strides and some variety of runs. Hits the byline or makes runs from the outside in, dribbling. Attempts short combinations while dribbling and has a strong preference for dribbling and controlling the ball with his right foot, moving towards the center, although has shown that can use his non-dominant foot to complete crosses by striking them at the byline.
W — Reigan Heskey (2008, Manchester City)
An inverted winger with long strides, Heskey typically receives the ball wide to drive forward and finish centrally, dribbling at speed. Attacks the far post on crosses from the opposing side once in a while, could do it more. Uses his physical profile to gain advantages in duels, but doesn’t always look in control.
W — Ruan Pablo (2008, Bahia)
A powerful winger with excellent acceleration, carrying skills and strong finishing ability, can work efficiently from both flanks and racks up shots with his non-dominant foot, creating space and opening up opportunities due to his sheer power. Physically reliable for the demands of professional football.
W — Wisdom Mike (2008, Bayern)
An incredibly agile winger, capable of controlling the ball on the turn, Mike’s a high-volume dribbler (preferably with his right foot), able to switch directions with the ball at his feet very quickly. Can be guilty of trying too much at times, but he’s also really good at making runs in behind, targeting the space between the opposing full-back and center-back.
ST — Anisio Cabral (2008, Benfica)
A versatile forward who offers a good variety of runs: drops deep to receive the ball with his back to goal (good ability to withstand contact and keep defenders behind him, despite an inconsistent first touch and a heavy preference for his left foot)…
and accelerates to break through (making runs in behind, occupying the defender’s blind spot before accelerating and anticipating a pass; good variety between the near and far post). Again, prioritizing actions with his dominant foot, avoiding finishing with his right foot as much as possible.
ST — Chizaram Ezenwata (2008, Chelsea)
A strong and compact striker. Deceptively fast, especially in short distances. Comes to feet, receiving the ball back to goal: excellent sustaining contact under pressure (good use of his arms, strength, well-positioned base). Above-average understanding of how to move in the penalty area, creating space for himself to shoot. Frequently looks for the defender’s blind spot to accelerate in any direction before shooting.
ST — Dell (2008, Bahia)
A smaller striker who thrives off short runs, Dell tends to look for the near post or arrive late into the penalty area when engaging; but his attacking movements are generally one-dimensional and not as aggressive as they could be. Exploits the blind spot of the defender ahead of him to anticipate plays and mostly finishes with his right foot. Struggles retaining possession when pressed with back to goal, but still drops deep constantly.
ST — Dominik Dobis (2009, RB Salzburg)
A highly mobile striker, Dobis drifts more to the left, searching for scoring opportunities from short diagonal runs into the box and identifying/setting up teammates inside the box. Good mobility for a center forward and his hip movement allows him to turn when receiving the ball, drawing lots of fouls. He tends to cut inside onto his dominant foot to shoot; his finishing ability and timing are questionable. Unfortunately, did his ACL later in the tournament.
ST — Hiroto Asada (2008, Yokohama Marinos)
A Japanese striker that loves to get the ball at his feet, with his back to the opponent’s goal: shows himself to it and even gestures for passes into him. Not only that, he’s actually pretty good at bringing teammates into play like that, keeping the ball flowing and setting up teammates in good positions near the penalty area. Might be exactly what the senior team has been missing to make a deep run at the World Cup.
ST — James Bogere (2008, Makasa Sunshine → AGF Aarhus)
A powerful and fast-paced striker, can also work as a wide forward, since he’s constantly moving to the flanks to receive and drive the ball towards the penalty area. Doesn’t look like the most explosive striker, but can cover ground nonetheless through good mobility, balance and strength to hold his own in physical duels. Capable of getting shots quickly, got loads of potential to be a goal-scoring winger.
ST — Ndjicoura Bomba (2008, CS Bamako → Bayer Leverkusen)
A fairly tall striker, targeted by constant long passes to control the ball in aerial duels, allowing him to establish his team in the opponent’s half. Does an interesting mix of runs, between receiving passes with his back to goal, flicking them on to a teammate up front, and accelerating to finish through balls. Good understanding of which foot to use when bringing others into play.
ST — Thomas Campaniello (2008, Empoli)
Campaniello is another striker who prefers to receive passes with his back to goal, be it on the ground or in the air. He’s good at contesting aerial balls and delivering well-aimed flicks. Retains possession upon receiving, orienting his body and maintaining contact behind his back, holding the ball to await the approach of a teammate (firmly grounded, stiff arms, shirts pulls, etc.). Finishes with both feet.
That concludes our list. Some of those players have obviously been snapped up by European clubs, so we should be seeing them sooner rather than later..
