EVERTON JOSE CIFUENTES

ADOLFO GAICH GONZALO MONTIEL

(Penarol)

Skillful and

intelligent wide

midfielder who

enjoyed a fine

breakthrough

last year in

Uruguay and

should develop

nicely under club

coach Diego

Forlan. At 18 he

is unlikely to stay

in his homeland

for much longer.

(Los Angeles)

Powerhouse

central midfielder

who made his

name with

Ecuador’s

excellent 2019

under-20 team.

Left CD America

of Quito for the

MLS earlier this

year for a reported

fee of $3m, but

has his sights

firmly set on

going to Europe.

(Gremio)

Dynamic, fetch-

and-carry type of

skipping central

midfielder with

a style that is

similar to that of

Barcelona’s Arthur

• the player that
  he replaced in the
  Gremio first team.
  Already a full
  international, he
  is destined for
  bigger things.

(Gremio)

Exciting winger who

was the breakout

star of Brazil’s Copa

America win last

year. A few seasons

ago such a leading

role would have

instantly earned him

a move to one of

the European giants.

However, at 24

his options going

forward might

be slightly more

restricted.

(Alianza Lima)

Strapping attacking

right-back whose

father was a fan of

Holland’s national

team. Has been

capped by Peru

at under-23 level

this year despite

being just 16.

Manchester City

are among the

many clubs that

are watching his

progress closely.

(River Plate)

Attacking right-

back with a

handful of

international caps

who has spent the

past three years

as part of the

River Plate side

and won the Copa

Libertadores in

2018. Attracting
      interest from all
      over Europe.

(Santos)

One of the leading

graduates from

Venezuela’s 2017

under-20 side.

Coming into his

own in Brazil after

playing in Chile,

he is a tiny winger

with marvelous

close control

whose decision

making is

improving as

he takes on extra

responsibility.

(San Lorenzo)

Big centre-forward

who brings back

memories of

Martin Palermo

and is better

than his clumsy

appearance might

indicate, sniffing

optimistically in

search of goals.

Nearly went to

Belgium in the

last window.
