Francisco Trincão

Francisco Trincão is one of those players who makes you do a double-take the first time you watch him — a 184 cm winger from Viana do Castelo, a quiet port town in northern Portugal that most people couldn't find on a map, yet here he is playing for Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia and representing the Portuguese national team. He came up through Braga, got his first-team shot in 2018, and already had a league cup medal by his second season — which tells you everything about the speed of his rise. Barcelona took a chance on him, which was both a compliment and almost too much pressure for a kid still figuring himself out, but he found his footing back in Lisbon with Sporting before moving to Saudi Arabia, and he looks genuinely dangerous with the ball at his feet. Still only in his mid-twenties, I think the best is honestly still ahead of him.
