Another great attacking midfielder! This French wonder kid, who was born in Marseille, is one highly rated player with increasing reputation.

Jeremie Boga was picked up by Chelsea when he was only 11 years old. At the age of 15, he soon got the chance to show his remarkable skills by featuring in the Blues’ Under-21 squad for the previous seasons NextGen Series. He soon recorded his first goal and put up quite a display.

Boga’s playing style is very direct with good movement, both with and without the ball. With the help of his extraordinary pace, acceleration and great dribbling skills he tends to run at his marker, beating him with raw speed. Boga, also, has a decent level of agility, flair and creativity. His low point of gravity, physical body strength and vision causes chaos in the oppositions defensive line.

In addition, Jeremie Boga can also produce goals. His finishing technique and long shots are fairly good. To summarize, his skills I will draw comparison to Diego Maradona; a faster, more modern and a better team player, who often thinks two steps ahead of every thing he does on the pitch.

Josimar Quintero: Wing-back/Midfielder(Right), Chelsea

Josimar Quintero is an Ecuadorian born versatile midfielder, who has the potential that can make him an excellent prospect for all player positions on the right flank. The former Barcelona jewel was one of the best players in Barcelona’s Cadete A last season. At Barcelona he was converted from the striker position to a winger, but was played most of the previous season as a wing-back. The Ecuadorian wonder kid can also play as central midfielder, if needed!

Josimar has all the skills required to play down the right flank. His work rate and ability to cover the right flank is something that’s very interesting, as there are very few talents that young with his remarkable skills. In addition to being hard working, Josimar has is extremely quick and has the technical abilities to be playing in advanced positions.

Josimar is also very good defensively, much similar to Daniel Alves, as his aggressive marking and positioning provides defensive safety. Josimar possess good dribbling skills, a good first touch, off the ball abilities and is known for his direct running. His attacking capabilities is very good as he tends to use his creativity on the flanks, create chances by good passes and crosses from wide, but also is able to finish off attacking moves with fierce shots.
