4 highly-rated young footballers who will need to prove their worth next season

Summer is the time people can pack up their troubles and send them off to summer camps. Summer is always pleasing to the eyes; the magnificent country side, gorgeous hills and the sparkling sea filled with women in sexy bikinis.

It’s not the same everywhere, and certainly not in football. Summer is business in football. While the world around them comes to a standstill, managers show interest in certain players, scouts watch their every move, journalists come up with all possible rumours and fans agonisingly wait for the transfers to happen.

With another season of scintillating football yet to come, here is a list of 4 highly rated youngsters who ought to prove their worth in Europe.

Neymar Da Silva

Neymar has just stepped into Europe, and he is already loved by some and hated by many. Though Neymar has become one of the most talked about footballers in the world, he is yet to prove it in Europe. With a €57 million transfer from Santos, this 21-year-old has failed to impress a lot of people on international duty. Although he is slowly showing his class in the Confederations Cup, critics are hardly convinced of his calibre. However, the Brazilian has the ability to keep the ball under pressure, and would be a great addition to the Barcelona squad with his tiki-taka and freekick ability. Next season would be a test of his pressure, and he can still mature as a star in Barcelona.
