Teófilo Gutiérrez's final game in professional football 🇨🇴
I was there to witness his second debut for Junior back in July 2017, against La Equidad, when he scored from the penalty spot.
Almost 10 years later, another goal in a Junior shirt. What a way to bring the curtain down on a career 👏
Legend 🔴⚪🔵
Jesús Peñaloza (18) 🇨🇴
Me ha gustado mucho su evolución este año. Está aprovechando los minutos y la continuidad que ha tenido. Todavía tiene aspectos por mejorar, especialmente con el balón en los pies, pero con apenas 18 años está mostrando señales muy positivas de cara al futuro.
Por su parte, Unión Magdalena ha empatado sus cuatro partidos de los cuadrangulares. Aunque les ha faltado contundencia en ataque para convertir esos empates en victorias, lo positivo ha sido su firmeza en defensa 🔵🔴
@UnionMagdalena
Siguiendo con el Torneo BetPlay y los talentos de 17 años, Jesús Peñaloza continúa impresionando en Unión Magdalena 🔵🔴
Ha formado una gran dupla con Freddy Molina 🇻🇪, por su presencia nadie diría que apenas tiene 17 años.
Aún tiene aspectos por mejorar, especialmente con el balón en los pies, pero ya se nota más confianza en sí mismo y una mejoría reciente en ese área del juego.
Va por buen camino 🇨🇴
Another goal today for Keyrol Figueroa (20), this time in the FA Cup against Scunthorpe United.
He's now scored 4 goals in his last 5 games, with the majority coming off the bench. A really impressive run of form.
His father, Maynor, won the FA Cup with Wigan in 2013. Nice to see Keyrol now getting on the scoresheet in the same competition!!
Hopefully we see him get more minutes and continue finding the net at Port Vale.
Promising signs for Honduras 🔥🇭🇳
Mike Arana (17) showing very promising signs with those 2 goals tonight for Real Espana.
Look at Dereck Moncada who I mentioned at the start of the year, who's gone up another level since arriving in Europe, Keyrol Figueroa scoring for Port Vale, and Giancarlos Sacaza looking like the next one to get a big move... ⏳
It’s great to see Honduras producing top talents again 🇭🇳
Yaya Fofana (22) 🇨🇮
Despite Reims' defeat to Grenoble tonight, Fofana was excellent yet again, scoring two brilliant goals.
The Ivorian attacking midfielder now has 10 goals and 3 assists in 12 Ligue 2 games, with 9 of those goals coming in his last 8 appearances.
A career best campaign, and my Ligue 2 Player of the Season so far.
If he maintains this form, expect plenty of interest in January... ⏳
And no surprise at all to see Aleksey Batrakov making headlines on the biggest stage 🇷🇺
The 21-year-old scored twice against Stuttgart today, taking his tally to 4 goals in 4 Champions League games, scoring in 3 consecutive matches.
With many clubs seemingly reluctant to take a chance on players in Russia, Galatasaray were willing to take the risk and it's already paying off, with Batrakov becoming a fan favourite 👏🇹🇷
I've already spoken about how well Cisse is doing, but my other pick, Fares Ghedjemis (24), is also ageing well.
I highlighted Ghedjemis back in January as a potential low-risk, cheap pickup from Serie B. Not anymore!!
He's now delivering in Serie A, with 5 assists and 1 goal from 8 starts. Today, he opened the scoring against Torino before playing a part in the second goal to seal a 2-0 win, Frosinone's 5th consecutive home victory 🔥🇩🇿
Frosinone have since extended his contract until 2030.
Recruitment is all about timing ⏳
Onto Italy's Serie B next 🇮🇹
Fares Ghedjemis (23) is enjoying his best season as a pro so far, being a standout for Frosinone with another goal today, bringing his total to 8 goals & 2 assists 🇫🇷🇩🇿
Alphadjo Cisse (19) is one of the league's most exciting prospects having a breakout season on loan at Catanzaro from Verona, 6 goals & 1 assist 🇮🇹
Ghedjemis is a low-risk, potential cheap pickup option this window with his contract expiring soon. Cisse is a top-tier prospect elite sides should be targeting; Verona may struggle to keep a hold of him!!
Qué ha pasado con Emelec? 🔵🇪🇨
He visto el Capwell completamente lleno, con un ambiente que pocos estadios pueden igualar.
Emelec no ha dejado de ser un grande. Ha perdido la capacidad de funcionar como tal.
Uno de los grandes clubes de Ecuador. Qué triste ver esto 💔
Qué lámpara...
Ross Wilson: "We went into the summer with a clear plan, which we executed almost to its entirety."
#NUFC
Alisson Santana (21) continues to impress for Shakhtar Donetsk. He was outstanding in the Ukrainian derby against Dynamo Kyiv yesterday, scoring and assisting in a 3-0 win 🔥🔥
He caught my eye early on at Atlético Mineiro in the state championships before becoming the 2nd youngest goalscorer in the club’s Libertadores history, behind Savinho.
A special mention to Shakhtar, who have done a tremendous job recruiting from Brazil. People forget just how much talent has passed through the club over the years, over 40 players and the new wave looks just as exciting:
Kauã Elias | Bruninho
Ryan Roberto | Luca Meirelles
Lucas Ferreira | Gabriel Carvalho
Marlon Gomes | Eguinaldo
Marlon Santos | Pedrinho
Newerton | Pedro Henrique
Isaque | Vinicius Tobias
🇧🇷🇺🇦
I mentioned Facundo Herrera as one of the next big talents coming through at Boca.
At just 20, he plays like someone who's spent his entire career in the top division. It's rare to see a young footballer look so comfortable wearing the shirt of one of the biggest clubs on the continent.
Standout performance at centre back today. Winning goal vs Independiente.
Extremely impressive Jagger 🟡🔵🇦🇷
Kener González (21): un cierre agridulce para el talento de Balboa.
El volante de Internacional Palmira terminó el Clausura en gran forma, con 4 goles en sus últimos 6 partidos. Continúa mostrando una evolución en su juego y cada vez tiene mayor incidencia en ataque 🔥
Sin embargo, el equipo terminó la temporada con 5 partidos consecutivos sin ganar y se quedó a 4 puntos de clasificar a los cuadrangulares 🇨🇴
Kener González (20) está llevando su juego a otro nivel tras el Mundial Sub-20. Ha tenido un inicio de temporada muy sólido en el Torneo BetPlay con Internacional Palmira, sumando gol a su juego con 3 tantos en los últimos 2 partidos 🔥
Ayer vs Real Cartagena fue la figura y el MVP con doblete, aunque terminó expulsado por dos entradas a destiempo. Una lección de aprendizaje para el joven volante, pero su impacto en la cancha es cada vez mayor 🇨🇴
I try to stay away from talking about the elite clubs and youth prospects as it's obvious they produce gems non stop but watching Xavi Espart live & talking to his parents at Euros u19 its great to see the kid shining for Barca 💎
He shouldn't have been subbed off tonight... 🔵🔴🇪🇸
🤖 Made with AI
Historic masterclass from Spain U19 to lift their 10th EURO title in Wrexham 🏆
Absolute perfection with 5 wins, 19 goals scored & 0 conceded, the first team ever to keep a clean sheet record.
My opening match MOTM Quim Junyent officially named Player of the Tournament, and the rest of the squad including Morante, Yáñez, Pitarch, Espart were unreal all the way through.
Great experience catching 10 live games overall for this tournament. The future of Spanish football feels like an endless cycle of talent ✨🇪🇸
#U19EURO
Pedro Morisco (22), nothing more to say.... 🔥🔥🔥
He didn't deserve to be on the losing side tonight. Seeing as Newcastle will never sign him, I hope he stays at @Coritiba for life 😂🟢⚪🇧🇷
And Alphadjo Cisse (19) is proving to be a top-tier prospect. Verona did struggle to keep hold of him, with Milan ultimately winning the race.
Today, he scored a 60 minute hat-trick for Milan in the Europa League against Salzburg 🔥🇮🇹
Onto Italy's Serie B next 🇮🇹
