Only 1 kid in England was eligible for the U17's and he got called in and looked at but didn't make the cut. The kid in Portugal may or may not be good enough. Belenenses is a smaller club and he may not be one of the better players. Desjardins sounds like a good prospect, i'd like to find out more about him. BTW, he would have got called up to the U20's (Primavera), there is no U23 or reserve league in Italy.

edit: Also those 3 kids hold EU/British passports allowing to play over there prior to age 18.

Desjardins was on the bench for Spezia in Serie B today vs Bari 1908.  He did not play, but still not bad for a 17 year old.

To add to that: their starting goalkeeper got injured. Also, they had 2 goalkeepers, including Axel, on the bench, so let's not get too excited,

Yes, exactly. Flashbacks of Roberto Stillo sitting on the bench as the #3 keeper...

BTW, Axel has allowed 8 goals in 4 games in Primavera 2A. Spezia were demoted from Prima. A last season by the looks of it.

Not that he has shown anything at a high level, but Dukuly just got his first appearance for FC Edmonton today. He is a 16 year old attacking mid/winger. He might get a couple more looks this season if Edmonton is down a goal. I haven't seen him play at a high level, but he was a clear standout at the Canada Summer Games. A lot of raw talent. He doesn't have the athletic ability at the level of Davies, but he seems to have great dribbling skills. It will be interesting to see how he plays in the rest of the season.
