Lucas Gourna Douath - french central midfielder who plays for Salzburg. Played 60+ games for St Étienne between the ages of 17 and 19. Rejected big clubs (Liverpool, Atletico, Brighton) to go to Salzburg for his development. Made the golden boy shortlist.

The most impressive thing for me is his attitude. In France his teammates called him the journalist because as a 17 year old he would research the opposition and produce scouting reports. He works very hard on and off the pitch. He is also well advised as he’s picking clubs based on development rather than glamour.

I think he’s going to be a top player. Model professional with talent…

An outlier for AngeBall: Luciano Acosta

I'm obsessed.

He's 5'3" (1.60m), Argentinian, has been the best player in MLS this season, and he isn't Messi.

Would be hilarious.

Thiago Almada would probably make more sense for us, though.

Think I posted an article a while ago about Francesco Camarda apparently getting 485 goals in 89 games at youth level in Milan's academy. He's 15 now and playing with Milan's u19s. Scored a really nice goal bicycle kick today against PSG u19s in the UEFA Youth League.

(2nd goal, around 1:09)

In Italy you can't call up players before they've signed pro deals but an exemption has been granted for 15 year old Camarda to be able to be in the first team squad for Milan's next game against Fiorentina
