Valentín Barco

Colo Barco is exactly the kind of young Argentine talent I get excited about; born in 2004, he came up through Boca Juniors' famous youth pipeline before earning a move to Europe. As a left back he plays with the kind of fearless verticality that reminds you why Argentina keeps producing fullbacks who think like attackers. After loan spells including Strasbourg in Ligue 1 and a return to Chelsea, I see a player learning the discipline of the European game without losing his swagger. He's still raw, but the ceiling is genuinely high, and I'd bet on him becoming a long-term fixture for the national team.
