The proper youth football nerds should remember Kodai Sano from the #U20WC in 2023, where he played alongside some SCOUTED favourites like Kota Takai, Sota Kitano and Kuryu Matsuki. This Japan side didn't get out of the group stage but had plenty of talent.

Sano has played quite a lot of football at quite a young age: 50 appearances in the J2 League as 19-year-old and now 58 appearances for NEC as a 21-year-old. Clubs will like that as much as anything. His older brother, Kaishu, has just finished a good first season in the Bundesliga for Mainz too.

First on the agenda: the conundrum that is Emanuel Emegha. His 14-goal season and attention-grabbing profile are attracting interest from some of Europe's top teams, but is the Strasbourg striker ready to make such a leap?
Ashwin gives us his assessment.

You absolutely do love to see it.

You can say the same for those at Génération Foot seeing Pape Matar Sarr, at Volendam seeing Micky van de Ven, at Nottingham Forest seeing Brennan Johnson, at Tottenham seeing Mikey Moore. These moments mean a lot for countless players, coaches, parents, teachers, and more.

You've got one of the most wanted players around in Ekitiké, one of the best finishers this season in Kroupi, the completness of Tel, the dribbling of Odobert, the running of Kalimuendo, and more. The depth and breadth of talent is a little bit ridiculous, frankly.

If anything, it creates more problems.

Suzuki will replace Ritsu Doan, while Irié is an exciting prospect with an eye-catching profile and potential. These are signings that kick clubs upward: players that are impactful in the immediate term with the aim to be sold for significant profits down the line. Good work by Freiburg.

He was the nub of a flexible Portugal attack that posed Albania different kinds of problems. The multi-faceted Inísio Cabral as the point forward, João Aragão with his busy directness, Gil Neves supporting, full-backs overlapping, and a replacement cast that kept it coming.

Leeds is far too high. Looking more like League Two, or maybe the top end of the National League.

Aye, that's right, another whipped left-footed finish into the far corner to bag his 18th goal (and counting) of the season. The trademark finish is becoming an automatic finish. Cheat code.

Game's the game.

You say that, but Bayer Leverkusen have a really good ex-La Masia centre-back and Köln have an absolutely massive left-footed 16-year-old! It was a mental game, the first half especially. Worth trying to find the highlights.

Justin von der Hitz might've won 1. FC Köln their first-ever U-19 Bundesliga title, but his future lies at 1. FC Nürnberg from this summer and beyond. More below on the driving factor in that move and why the Bavarian club are becoming a go-to destination for exciting emerging talent.

As for standouts, look no further than 18-year-old Justin von der Hitz. A right-footed right winger, he was the catalyst in Effzeh's comeback—very direct and decisive in his actions with sharp changes of tempo, wicked deliveries into the box, and two great finishes. Small in stature, big in threat.
