S. )Don't discount hosts Colombia, though: they're going through a mini-revolution within the federation after their senior team failed to qualify for the World Cup. There is a lot of talent here, and they're ready to win on home soil and for the first time in a decade. This competition also serves as a proverbial goldmine for scouts from all over the globe. It can serve as a life-changing opportunity for players as well as South American clubs that can profit from European interest. There will be plenty of European clubs paying attention to this competition.
Patrickson Delgado | Ecuador | 19 | Midfielder | AjaxThe only member of the Ecuador squad who plays in Europe, this talented 19-year-old is at Ajax and representing their reserves team on loan, with an option to make the move permanent, from Independiente Del Valle, the Ecuadorian powerhouse that gave us the likes of Moisés Caicedo and Gonzalo Plata. Delgado, nephew of Agustín "Tín" Delgado (former all-time leading scorer for the national team before Enner Valencia took over) is a strong box-to-box midfielder who enjoys the simple art of quick passing, strong tackling and generating goals whenever possible.
Máximo Perrone | Argentina | 20 | Midfielder | Veléz SarsfieldBy the time you finish reading this sentence, Perrone -- a composed, self-assured midfielder for Veléz Sarsfield -- might also be getting ready for Europe. More specifically, Manchester City. Pep Guardiola is so intensely interested in Perrone that he has reportedly contacted the club, Perrone's representatives and the aforementioned Mascherano, who naturally knows the Premier League extremely well. Veléz president Sergio Rapisarda is not happy, however, as he has been disappointed in Guardiola, Man City and even Mascherano, all trying to influence Perrone's decision. It's understood that Perrone's move to City is set and will head to Manchester after the tournament. Perrone plays well above his age.
The club boasts a number of quality prospects and Osorio, a quick-thinking, inverted right winger, is no exception. Chile's senior team has been suffering with the cold realization that their golden years of Arturo Vidal, Alexis Sanchez and Charles Aránguiz are slowly fading away, but there is plenty of young talent ready to graduate. Osorio is one of its brightest -- he's fast, brave and a headache for defenders with his great left foot. There are numerous reports on his next destination, from Serie A to Tottenham Hotspur, and there's no doubt we will see him in Europe sooner rather than later. For now, enjoy his ability in this competition.
