Finding young talent to boost any squad is a key part of developing teams to achieve long lasting success, and coming into the summer transfer window, there are no doubts that some young stars will be making a name for themselves with top tier transfers.
Sources from CaughtOffside have reported that Manchester United and Liverpool and the latest in a long line of teams including Bayern, Brentford, Anderlecht, Ajax and Monaco to send scouts to monitor a highly exciting 18-year-old in Europe.
Finding a future star is always an exciting prospect for any squad, with the range of interested parties being able to offer varying routes to first team football. Teams like Ajax and Anderlecht are more likely to be able to offer regular first team football, whereas although big names like Manchester United and Bayern are more exciting options, the chance of first team football is less likely.
Either way, securing a potential future top player for €10 million will be a huge boost to any club, so the potential transfer of Malick Yalcouye could make him one to watch.
The young central midfielder from the Ivory Coast has only been playing for IFK Goteborg for a few months having moved from ASEC Mimosas, a team which has brought us massive stars such as Salomon Kalou, Yaya Toure and Kolo Toure.
It’s unclear whether the 18-year-old will be looking to move to a big name team this season, or step up through other teams to continue first team football, but so far in his 10 appearances for IFK Goteborg, he’s doing enough right to build a lot of excitement.
