The 2 breakthrough stars in European demand.

The 2024/2025 season has so far been a year for youth with roughly FOURTY FOUR u21 debuts this season having been made in the Premier League alone, the pinnacle of English Football. The importance of Youth players with the recent increase of injuries cannot be understated in the slightest. With so many debuts being made and a growing trust between the Academy and the Senior game, a top talent breaking through and becoming a major part of a teams plans has become a regular occurrence. Youth players not only hold value in helping rotate players but they also help in the fight for financial stability with any sales made from pure youth talents helping to aid the selling team with pure profit, something we've seen teams like Chelsea take advantage of in recent years to balance their books. However, in this craze of breakthrough stars, two MAJOR talents are being tracked worldwide with behind the scenes contact constantly ongoing with many major clubs in search for their next star. The first talent to watch out for in the next windows is Liverpools Ben Doak, currently on loan at Middlesbrough, who is tearing up the Championship having produced 10 G/A in 24 games this season at 19 Years old. The Scottish prodigy has already seen interest from Premier League sides Ipswich and Crystal Palace who were keen to pay upto £20m for the Right Winger. Liverpool, who rate Doak highly, however rejected both offers for Doak as they seek to further his development as they believe they can earn even double the £20m price tag in the summer window. So far Tottenham, Fulham, Forest, Newcastle, Brentford, Leipzig, Monaco, Atalanta, Borrusia Dortmund and Bayern Munich have sent scouts to track the highly rated prospect with the Premier League sides the more keen on the winger. Ben Doak is subject to major interest this summer with LFC open to a sale so keep an eye on this one 👀. The final youth star to keep an eye out for is Ajax's Jorrel Hato who, as I write this, has registered TWO assists already for Ajax from left back against Heracles in the 67th minute bringing his season total so far to 9 G/A for Ajax at only 18-Years old from LB. This unbelievably underrated star has been subject to interest for some time now with Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Aston Villa all having held major interest in the full back. I can reveal Bayern Munich held talks with the Dutch LB whilst Davies future was very uncertain but after the Canadian has signed a new deal and the new arrival of Hiroki Ito, any interest has ended. Same goes for Arsenal who were majorly interested but the signing of Calafiori has dampened their hopes. Liverpool are the latest team to have made contact with Hato's representatives and they're keen to seek further information on the players availability. Ajax are set to seek a hefty penny on the young fullback who is likely to face interest this summer and has a highly likely chance that he will make a move, same with Doak. So keep an eye out on these two prospects as interest gathers around Europe ahead of a busy summer window approaching 👀.
