Xu Bin

Xu Bin interests me as a glimpse of where Chinese football might be heading. Born in 2004 and already on Wolverhampton's books, loaned to Barnsley to be tested in the grind of English League One, he is doing the hard, unglamorous thing: leaving home young to grow in a brutally competitive league. The defensive midfield role he occupies is the thankless engine of a team, which tells me he values usefulness over spotlight. With a national-team call-up already on his résumé, I will be watching closely. Players who chase difficulty this early often become the ones worth remembering.
