The latest edition of Football Manager is all set for its launch next month and the managers are already making their decisions regarding the teams they want to manage and the players they want to sign.
Signing a top-class international can be quite appealing but investing in a young player with world-class potential and then developing him into a world-beater is often more exciting.
Here at Football Manager Story, we look at five such potential wonderkids you could sign this year.
Harvey Elliott
The highly-rated attacking midfielder joined Liverpool from Fulham this season and he has already featured for Jurgen Klopp’s first team.
Elliott has excellent technical attributes and he has maturity beyond his years. 16-year-old has all the tools to develop into a star for the Reds and he should be an exciting prospect in the game as well.
Eduardo Camavinga
The 16-year-old Rennes midfielder has already made a name for himself with his performance against PSG earlier this year.
Camavinga is one of the most technically gifted youngsters around and he is quite highly rated in the game as well.
