Spain

Adrian Marin (Villarreal, Defender)

Left back who made his first team debut earlier this season, despite playing just four times for the B team. Joined the club at the age of 11 and progressed quickly through the ranks. Quick, physically imposing and technically gifted.

Julen Arellano (Barcelona, Defender)

Despite playing for Barcelona, his idol is Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale. A left-footed defender who loves to get forward, he has the strength and speed required to barrage his way past opponents with ease. Joined the Catalans at the age of 14.

Ferran Sarsanedas (Barcelona, Midfielder)

Already in his eighth season at Barcelona, he has been likened to Sergi Roberto, who is now in the first team squad. Intelligent and good on the ball, he likes cutting in from the left flank to trouble opposition defenders.

Sweden

Erik Andersson (Landskrona Bois, Midfielder)

Was spotted by former Celtic and Barcelona striker Henrik Larsson. Started his first game at the age of 15 and has since attracted interest from Newcastle United and Juventus. He is also the captain of Sweden’s Under 17 side.
