JEREMY DOKU
(PSV)
An academy
graduate, the
midfielder has
the highest
standards of
vision and dead-
ball expertise.
Has chosen to
represent Holland
internationally,
spurning an
approach from
Morocco.

Creative 18-year-
old right-footer
whose best work
is done on the
left flank. Already
sparking the
interest of Real
Madrid, Barcelona,
Chelsea and
Bayern Munich,
he made his debut
for Espanyol in
August.(Mallorca)
Few attacking
midfielders are
more wily and
elusive in reduced
spaces than this
18-year-old.
Currently on loan
at Mallorca from
Real Madrid, the
word is that his
heart remains at
Barcelona, where
he used to feature
at the club’s
renowned La
Masia school.(Anderlecht)
In a season of
marked under-
achievement
at the club, the
emergence of
the right-winger
was a rare ray of
sunshine. Liverpool
have been tracking
him for some time
and other Premier
League sides are
following on.(Ajax)
According to
magazine Voetbal
International,
Bayern Munich
had a €20m bid
for the attack-
conscious right-
back rejected
during the January
transfer window.
They are sure to
come back with an
improved offer for
the Dutch-born
USA international.MOHAMED IHATTAREN

Eden, plays for the club’s under-nines.
They certainly know how to churn out
prodigies at OL. First Karim Benzema,
Hatem Ben Arfa, Nabil Fekir and now
Cherki. Remember the name.
