Real Madrid: 5 future stars to monitor around La Liga

Valencia AM Lee Kang-In

Valencia attacking midfielder Lee Kang-In is one of the most versatile attacking midfield prospects in the league, as he’s made appearances across the formation for one of La Liga’s most highly-regarded clubs this season.

Lee made the majority of his appearances off the bench this season, so while he logged 17 total La Liga matches, he only garnered 445 minutes. That said, he made the most of them, scoring two goals and showing great playmaking traits.

He had 2.2 successful dribbles per 90 minutes and only 0.6 unsuccessful dribbles per 90 minutes, showing that he has the ability to maintain possession and create chances for his team. Lee is one of the top prospects in the entire league, and he also completed 86.7 percent of his passes.

Quietly, Lee has shown that he has the tools to become the kind of attacking midfielder who can create high-quality chances for his teammates. Look for the 19-year-old to take a huge step forward in 2020-2021, because he has true star potential in this league.

Real Madrid will be watching him. If Ferran Torres joins Manchester City, then Lee will become Valencia’s best young player to watch. He should settle into a regular role soon enough.
