Marcelino Núñez

Marcelino Núñez is the kind of player I love tracking before the wider world catches on. A midfielder out of Recoleta in Santiago, born in 2000, he made the leap from Chile all the way to the Premier League with Ipswich Town, which is no small feat. What impresses me is the sheer nerve it takes to leave South America and absorb English football's relentless physicality every week. He already anchors Chile's national side, and I suspect his best years are still ahead. I am quietly betting he becomes the spine of that team for a decade to come.
