18) Otavio
Who is he?: Otavio da Silva is an 18 year old who plays for Internacional in the Serie A. The attacking midfielder plays for the Brazilian U-20 side.
Back in 2013: After a 2012 spent mainly on the fringes of the Internacional first team, the youngster saw his role increase in 2013. He made a total of 25 appearances for the club in the year, 21 of which were from the start. His first start of the season came against Portuguesa where he made Internacional’s only goal of the game. He scored in the next game against Cruzeiro and added a further 4 goals to his tally in the season. He’s a regular member of the Brazilian U-20 side.
Looking to 2014: Being a Brazilian, the obvious goal is the World Cup but the youngster is hardly likely to be picked by Scolari. A realistic goal is to kick on at Internacional and let his talent shine.
17) Suso
Who is he?: Suso is a 20 year old midfielder who plays for Liverpool and is currently on loan at Almeria. He is a part of the Spanish U-21 team.
Back in 2013: Suso enjoyed his breakthrough in the 2012-13 season, especially in the first half of the season taking the opportunity to impress. The arrival of Coutinho and Sturridge in January of the year meant that Suso’s playing time took a hit and as a result he was sent on loan to Almeria for the 2013-14 season to further his development. And it’s a loan that’s certainly gone according to plan thus far. Suso made an assist in the opening game of the season against Villareal and did the same against Getafe a week later. He scored his first goal for the club against Levante in a 2-2 draw. He’s started 14 starts and made 3 substitute appearances in the league so far.
He was part of Spain’s U-20 side in the World Cup and started 3 games in the tournament. He’s a regular fixture in the Spanish U-21 squad but has only started 1 of the qualifiers making another appearance from the bench.
Looking to 2014: Almeria are near the relegation zone and will be looking to move up the table. They will look to Suso to provide the spark in attack, something the youngster is very capable of.
