Here are the next five talents, who will be looking to make an impact in the coming seasons. From prolific strikers, to midfielders with expectional technique, here is the next batch:

Bojan Krkic Perez – Barcelona (ST)

When you hit 889 goals for the Barcelona youth team, it is inevitable that you’ll make a career in the game. For this Spaniard, there is no doubt as to how high he can reach in the modern game. A slight figure, he has lit up several youth tournaments for Spain, while his wonderful pace and dribbling ability, coupled with excellent positional awareness and a natural instinct of where the net is, make him a feared opponent.

In his debut season, he hit a number of important goals, including one away to Schalke 04, yet he was unable to help to side lift any silverware. This time around, Barcelona is a different proposition, and with Pep Guardiola’s policy of rotation, everyone will get their chance. Bojan fired in a brace in Basel in his last start. It appears Catalonia has found its Raul and Barcelona’s heir to Samuel Eto’o.

Aaron Ramsey – Arsenal (CM)

It is a testament to Aaron Ramsey’s talent that three major Premier League clubs were interested in him. Eventually Arsene Wenger got his man, and the signs have all pointed to a huge future. His FA Cup performances against Middlesbrough in the quarter final and then a cameo in the final against Portsmouth were only the start. He was instrumental in the 6-0 mauling of Sheffield United, with a sumptuous back-heeled pass allowing Nicklas Bendtner to score his second.

He followed this up with a man-of-the-match performance against England U21 as the youngest player on the pitch. He capped it off with a stunning 30 yard half volley with his weaker left foot. Then came his cameo in Istanbul, where he finished with aplomb from the edge of the area. The young Welshman has been likened to Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, but seems less dynamic. His balance on the pitch seems awkward, allowing him to sidestep tackles with ease. And he strikes a mean outswinging corner too.

Fabio Da Silva – Manchester United (LB)

Football is a funny game. During the U17 World Cup, Brazil had two impressive full backs. The one who stood out was Fabio, the left back. He scored three goals from the position and was top scorer for the South American nation, starring in a 7-0 demolition of New Zealand alongside Lulinha. Yet, for club, it has been his brother Rafael, who has broken into the first team at Manchester United. With Gary Neville ageing, Wes Brown a temporary solution, Rafael is being given a number of chances.

Fabio, on the other hand, has the daunting task of displacing arguably the world’s best left back. The two-footed Brazilian has an array of tricks and adds a dynamism to any side in which he plays. His eye for goal at lower levels has continued for Manchester United’s reserves, and it remains to be seen whether this continues at the top level. Though his progress has been slowed down by a shoulder operation, he is on the path to regular football at the European champions if he continues to improve.

Torric Jebrin – Portsmouth (LM/RM/CM)

There seems to be a lot of confusion concerning a player so highly rated. He has been called Tawrick Jibril, Taufiq Jebril and a number of other variations. Yet, Portsmouth, upon stealing the Ghanaian youngster, from the radar of Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Arsenal, confirmed what he should have been called. The former Heart of Oak midfielder was set for a two week trial at Arsenal, but Atletico stole in and brought the versatile player to Spain.

A fee was agreed and Jebrin was all set to sign, but for reasons unknown, the capital side backtracked, allowing Portsmouth to take advantage of the confusion. The South Coast club’s Director of Youth Operations Paul Hart said of the promising youngster, ‘Jebrin’s a great little kid with a lovely left foot’. He made his international debut in April of this year, in a qualifier against Niger for the African Nations Championship (think the ACoN, but for home-based players only). The 17 year old Jebrin will be loaned out to Belgian feeder side Zulte-Waregem.

Toni Kroos – Bayern Munich (CM)

If you are a promising German midfielder, with excellent vision, passing and goal-scoring ability, chances are the media are going to label you the ‘new’ Michael Ballack. Dubbed the next great Germany and Bayern No.10, Kroos showed his immense potential at the 2007 U17 World Cup, by scoring 5 goals and assisting his team-mates 4 times and winning the player of the tournament award.

On his Bundesliga debut, Kroos made an instant impression, feeding Miroslav Klose twice in a 5-0 thrashing of Energie Cottbus. Kroos has made the step up to the Germany U21s and is making strides for Bayern, now under the new manager Klinsmann. Uli Hoeness’ promise of the No.10 shirt may come true should Kroos make the expected progress.
