2019 Asian Cup: 10 youngsters to watch out for

#4 Dostonbek Khamdamov (Uzbekistan)

Khamdamov won the AFC Young Player of the Year award

The Bekabad-born winger currently plays for Russian top division club Anzhi Makhachkala but it was his performances with Turkish side Bunyodkar that caught the attention of everyone.

Playing as a left-winger, Khamdamov can unleash lethal crosses to the strikers and is very clever from dead ball situations. He can also score from distance, like the one he scored against Japan in the U-20 World Cup earlier this year. Uzbekistan won the match 3-0.

Khamdamov won the AFC Young Player of the Year award and has been touted as the next big thing from Uzbekistan.

#3 Supachai Jaided (Thailand)

Supachai honed his skills there before signing for Super Power

As a 10-year old boy, Supachai was sent to Sweden for footballing lessons from the academy where he learnt to play football. Since then, there has been no looking back for the Thai youngster.

The six-feet tall striker has played exceptionally well in the Suzuki Cup and scored two beautiful goals against the Philippines and Singapore. The youngster never dreamt of playing football until he was given an opportunity by local coach Seri Ahmed at Pattani Provincial Stadium.

The 20-year old honed his skills there before signing for Super Power and then for Buriram United. He has played eight matches for his country and scored three goals.
