The footage of him as a boy was taken in June 1992 when he was 8 years old. The boy part was only shown in the early part, and the rest just in the recent years.

He obviously was talented even at such a young age.

Nikon Jevtic, born in England to Serbian parents. His parents migrated to England during the Serbian war.

Currently, under contract with Shalke04 in Austria, and was in youth academy of Valencia in Spain. Ironic, a Spanish or Austrian club got him before English clubs did.

The boy can score, pass and has a good control of the ball. Interesting prospect in the next three to four years. Obviously, basing on his skills we will be hearing more about him in the near future.

In the video below, he was probably 12 to 13 years old in 2006.

“I think when you find young players like this, good players, interesting players at the top level he has to play with the seniors. Age is not important, what’s important is the quality, the confidence,” said the Italian.

“It’s a stupid example but Maradona played when he was 16. Because he was ready. Theo is ready for sure.”

Capello’s decision is just right. Beckham is now nearing the mid 30s, and i believe the 19 year old Walcott is mature enough to win games for England.

8.5 million pounds for a defender and a teenager is huge. Not even the seasoned defenders like Rio Ferdinand would be worth like that.

He is a member of the senior national team of Brazil that won the bronze medal in the Beijing Olympics. His presence in the recent Olympics added to his value.

This 18 year old indeed is an interesting prospect. Unfortunately defenders don’t get much attention unlike the forwards.

Here is a video of him attacking and scoring a goal, although a defender.

He has a twin brother named Fabio also playing for Man United, and playing the position opposite him, at left back.

He joined Manchester United in July 2008. Currently, busying himself in the Reserve Lineup, but was surprisingly picked over Wes Brown in their Champions League match against Aalborg last September 30, 2008.

From a post match interview  at ESPN:

“We have great hopes for the lad,” said Ferguson. “He has impressed us a lot.

“Some people might have been a bit surprised I picked him over Wes Brown but I feel the boy has something special.”

This kid has potential, but is not playing for Brazil senior team yet.

Although, he managed to revived his career by playing for lower division clubs, but again hampered by a series of injuries.

That dog started it all.

Gulacsi was originally in a loan contract from MTK Hungaria, but was signed by Liverpool on August 2008 on a permanent basis until 2010.

“I am very proud to have signed for Liverpool,” said Gulacsi. “It’s a dream for me to be working at such a great club alongside one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Pepe Reina.

“After spending one year on loan I had no hesitation in agreeing to sign a permanent contract. To have signed for Liverpool is an unbelievable feeling.” (Liverpoolfc.tv)

He was on the bench as a backup goalkeeper for Cavalieri in the September 24 match against Crewe Alexandre in a Carling Cup match.

He expressed his desire to have a first team action in Liverpool:

“It was a fantastic evening. For me it was a great experience. I enjoyed every minute of it.

“I will continue to work very hard and make my debut in the senior team as soon as possible.” (Pepsifoci)

Well, that would take time, and he has to work very hard since Cavalieri, the backup goalie is as good as the first team team keeper Pepe Reina.

This towering striker was loaned out to Birmingham where he had 42 appearances and 11 goals which is decent in my opinion. He returned to Arsenal in the 2007-2008 season.

Bendtner can either play forward or  midfield. But he still have a limited time in the first team as there are high profile strikers doing well currently. Although, i believe he can challenge Walcott or Adebayor, just give him another two years.

He recently scored two goals for Arsenal in the Carling Cup.

If he is not patient or if things will not go well in Arsenal for him, i think this kid will look for other clubs to play regular first team action. He may go to other EPL clubs or in La Liga, Serie A.

Liverpool
- 21 year old Lucas Leiva broke the tie score with a header in the 58th minute to give Liverpool a 2-1 win over Crewe Alexandre.

Arsenal
- Arsenal scored 6 goals against Sheffield United. Three of those goals by Carlos Vela. Nicklas Bendtner added two goals. And the youngest of the gunners, 16 year old Jack Wilshere completed the 6 goals in the 57th minute. Aaron Ramsey, the 17 year old acquired from Cardiff City (division 2 club) also had his share in an assist to a Vela goal.

Reading
James Henry, the 19 year old from Reading scored two goals in the match, but missed a shot in the penalty shootout when the match against Stoke City ended in 2-2. Stoke won 4-3.

19 year old Alexandre Pato scored in the 49th in their last weekend’s match against Lazio. It was AC Milan’s first win of the season after three games.

Pato has now a total of 10 goals in 21 matches for AC Milan. A decent stats for a budding striker.

This wonder kid will go places. He has the potential to make a name for himself. He may be the heir apparent of Pele or Ronaldo. But i hope he won’t waste his life and talent like what happened to Ronaldo. The latter has been awful both on and off the pitch.
