4. Sporting Club RW Pedro Goncalves
On number four, I’ve picked another exciting prospect who could be a smart investment. He is older than Chukwueze and perhaps a little more established as a player. He is a regular starter for his club and he has put the European stage on fire with his displays. I am of course talking about Sporting’s Pedro Goncalves or Pote as he is better known.
Pote is a player who has drawn comparison with Manchester United’s ace, Bruno Fernandes. However, this season he has appeared in the winger’s role and has excelled brilliantly playing most of his football on the right flank. He strikes me as a good replacement for Isco and Asensio. Firstly, he is well adept at playing the role of an advanced central playmaker, and secondly, his long shooting ability is something that would keep the out of nowhere magic factor still alive for Real Madrid.
A Liverpool target for the summer, Real Madrid too, has reportedly joined in the race. Nonetheless, he is someone deemed to play in one of Europe’s top clubs, and the system that Sporting follows would compel them to free their player to further opportunities. He belongs at a big club in one of Europe’s top five leagues.
He already has 12 goals and six assists to his name in all competitions, per WhoScored. And, four of his goals came in Europe’s premium club competition. He is good at hold-up play, handy with his passing and crossing abilities, and does a decent job of tracking back and supporting the defense. Overall, he seems a top talent all set for a bright future. For reasons like interest from other clubs and the availability of more options of Real Madrid’s preference, he can only come up to the fourth position on this list.
