The business end of the season is getting close, the time when big names step up to do big things. When prizes are won and legends are born, it’s the time of the season that players and fans live for. But who are the five little stars who will be making their names next season?
We look at five players, one from each of Europe’s top five leagues, who could have their big break in the not-so-distant future and become superstars.
4Jorge Mere, Centre Back, Sporting Gijon (20)
We keep hearing that there is a dearth of young talented centre-backs, but big clubs need to look no further than Jorge Mere.
The Spaniard has played for Spain at every age level, from U17 to U21, and has already earned a call-up to the senior squad.
He was key last season in keeping them in La Liga and has stood out again this year.
He is a relatively old-school type of central defender; powerful and robust. Top clubs are circling, with Chelsea reportedly interested in him. With some polishing, it could reach the top of the game.
