Having signed a new contract this summer &#8211; which includes a \u20ac120m release clause &#8211; his move won&#8217;t come cheap but it could be worth it.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<h2 class=\"editorial-title\">Editor&#8217;s Choice<\/h2>\n<p>2 Related<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Technically brilliant and intelligent, Neves finds space and protects the ball wonderfully well.  With fabulous close control, highly developed vision and an ability to hit beautifully angled passes, Neves can operate as a No.10 or No.8 in midfield and stylistically resembles Jo\u00e3o Moutinho (before he was moved to a deeper role later in his career).  .)<\/p>\n<p>But Neves, who scored the stoppage-time winner in the Lisbon derby against Sporting CP this month, is not just about flair and aesthetics;  he also brings a suitable change to the team and averages 3.4 tackles per 90 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>With Feyenoord&#8217;s record-breaking striker Santiago Gim\u00e9nez (who has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League) featuring regularly in this column, it&#8217;s time to take a closer look at another high-achieving youngster from the club who has attracted the attention last month.<\/p>\n<p>Twin brother of Arsenal&#8217;s J\u00fcrrien, Quinten also came through the ranks at Ajax but had to take a detour to Utrecht to try his luck in the first team.  He is now in his second season at Feyenoord, and he is becoming one of the team&#8217;s hottest players.<\/p>\n<p>No. 8 has all the fundamental qualities to excel in this role.  Blessed with exceptional stamina and quick ball movement, he tirelessly supports his attack by entering the box.  In November, he got on the scoresheet three times in the league and recorded a remarkable number of key passes per 90 minutes for the season.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>Whoscored presents its U23 players of the month from the seven best leagues in Europe: English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Spanish LaLiga, French Ligue 1, Italian Serie A, Dutch Eredivisie and Portuguese Liga.

And for all the rumors about the demise of Belgium&#8217;s golden generation, another is taking shape &#8211; with Bakayoko and <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/man\/\"   title=\"Man\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Man<\/a> City&#8217;s J\u00e9r\u00e9my Doku on each wing, Belgium are sure to keep opposition defenses busy this decade.<\/p>\n<p>Bakayoko&#8217;s enthusiastic style is a joy to behold and his exceptional one-on-one skills allow him to outrun defenders on both sides.  He is productive when cutting inside with his left foot and almost never hesitates, always looking to move the ball forward.  Last weekend he scored and provided an assist in PSV&#8217;s 3-0 <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/win\/\"   title=\"win\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">win<\/a> at Twente and, with a transfer valued at around \u20ac30 million, he is no doubt being watched by some of the top clubs Europeans.<\/p>\n<p>Ajax have had a horrible <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/start\/\"   title=\"start\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">start<\/a> to the season, losing five of their opening eight games before a recent mini-revival, but as bleak as that may seem, they can always look to their youth.<\/p>\n<p>The last player to emerge from their legendary &#8220;<em>De Toekomst<\/em>&#8221; is left-footed centre-back Hato. Composed, capable of playing from the back (6+ progressive passes per 90 minutes), tactically astute, mobile and blessed with a good first touch, the 17-year-old has apparently already mastered the basics required of an Ajax defender.<\/p>\n<p>November was a pretty special month for Hato: he first made his first senior cap for the Netherlands against Gibraltar and a few days later he scored his first senior league goal for Ajax in victory 5 -0 at home against Vitesse.  The goal, which recalled Ajax&#8217;s &#8216;total football&#8217; of the 1970s, saw Hato start the move from midfield before pushing into the box and scoring from close range after a neat exchange with a teammate.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"module-iframe-wrapper \">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Camarda debut at 15 YEARS OLD!

Even though the Milan striker hasn&#8217;t set the world on fire, his goalscoring record at youth level is certainly something out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n<p>Although he has often played against opponents several years his senior &#8211; he first played with Milan&#8217;s U19 team at the age of 14 &#8211; he is a notorious goalscorer in the youth ranks and has found the net three times in the UEFA Youth League this season (including a brace against Newcastle), as well as four for the Italian U17 side earlier this autumn.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his innate goalscoring instinct, Camarda also possesses enough pace to outrun defenders, excellent timing in the air and a penchant for a spectacular finish.<\/p>\n<p>While attacking stars such as Florian Wirtz, Victor Boniface and full-backs Alejandro Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong have rightly received a lot of credit for Bayer Leverkusen&#8217;s sensational start to the German Bundesliga, Kossounou is arguably playing the better football.  of his life and even scored in the 4-0 victory against Union Berlin in early November.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline float-r inline-track\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Seven-top-young-coaches-to-watch-in-European-football.jpg\" width=\"100%\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Tor-Kristian Karlsen is a Norwegian football recruiter and executive and is the former general manager and sporting director of AS Monaco.  He will write regularly for ESPN about football business and the scouting process.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Despite some technical deficiencies &#8211; his first touch could be better &#8211; the Ivory Coast international&#8217;s proactive and aggressive style makes him a hugely impactful central defender.  His ground speed isn&#8217;t hard to spot, but he&#8217;s also a quick thinker and does well under pressure.  He is never afraid to pass the ball past the opponent to block them and even to step out of his role as right centre-back in Xabi Alonso&#8217;s back three.<\/p>\n<p>Impressive on set pieces in both areas and extremely confident in duels, few defenders in the Bundesliga rival Kossounou in terms of application and physicality.<\/p>\n<p>Despite promising signs during Newcastle&#8217;s preseason campaign, no one would have expected the 17-year-old midfielder to appear as unfazed as he did on his Premier League home debut against Chelsea on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond her sublime assist for Alexander Isak&#8217;s opener in the 4-1 win, there are plenty of reasons to be captivated by Miley&#8217;s outing.  More than anything, the England U19 international looked comfortable and composed, his ball retention steady and sure in a fast-paced game, as was his distribution as he linked up perfectly with Kieran Trippier and Miguel Almiron.<\/p>\n<p>His decision-making is reminiscent of a seasoned Premier League midfielder and he showed no signs of being intimidated by the exuberant atmosphere at St James&#8217; Park.  He also played 90 minutes in Newcastle&#8217;s Champions League draw against PSG and this mature and reliable central midfielder is sure to earn more minutes in the coming months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November&#8217;s U23 Hot List: Neves, Timber, Miley among stars\u060c Tor-Kristian Karlsen, ESPNDecember 1, 2023, 9:00 a.m. Jo\u00e3o Neves&#8217; form has attracted the attention of some big clubs in recent months.
