Scout Report - Hachim Mastour, Christian Maldini, Andrea Petagna and the fountain of youth at AC Milan

Simone Ganz

Son of a former Milan player, Maurizio Ganz, Simone has a good eye for goal, movement, control and also possesses a strong right foot.He made his professional debut with the first team on 1 November 2011, coming on as a substitute for Robinho in a UEFA Champions League group stage match against BATE Borisov, which ended in a 1–1 draw.

For the 2013–14 season, he is loaned out to Prima Divisione club Lumezzane.

Kingsley Boateng

Not related to Prince Boateng, this Ghanian starlet has loads of porential and we saw a glimpse of it in the Audi cup. He scored the winner against Sao paolo for the 3rd place play off.

Italian football pundits tipped the youngster to shine but a nagging knee injury ruled him out of Milan’s Primavera side for most part of the season. He is physically strong and has good ball control, a certain prospect for the future.

Davide Pacifico

This 19 year old Centre back seems to have a sensible brain on him and has a good sense of positioning. He was called up by allegri for the audi cup with injuries to regular Centre backs and he was impressive. Pacifico managed to perform well, especially against Sao Paulo in the 1-0 win.

He showed his defending intelligence and impressed the Milan coaching staff. He certainly has a good future especially after seeing his performances in the Audi cup.

Lucas Lotti

One of the youngest in the Primavera squad, this 17 year old defender has immense talent. His preferred position is in the centre but can play on the left too. He has already represented Italy in the U 17 and U 18 and has been called up for the U19 squad too. His speed, positioning sense makes him a good prospect for the future.

Adria Carmona

A Barcelona youth product, Carmona moved to the Milan youth system in 2010 and has been a hot prospect too. A left footer attacking midfielfer can play as a left winger too. He was loaned to Zaragoza for the second half of the last season and made 3 appearances. His versatility and quick feet have caught the eye of many.

Carmona is currently on loan to Girona FC. He has represented spain in Fifa U 17 world cup and UEFA European under 17 football championship.

Hachim Mastour

Hachim Mastour at work

The kid everyone is raving about. “The Moroccan Messi”. The AC Milan wonderkid has skill, pace and vision and has been compared with Lionel Messi and he is only 15. On his debut for AC Milan under 15s Hachim Mastour scored a wonder goal giving the world a glimpse of what is to come. YouTube has exploded with videos of Hachim Mastour and many have been impressed with his talent at such a young age.

Mastour may not be ready for Serie A yet, but he is a very special player so don’t be surprised to see him there in the coming seasons.
