Football Manager 2022: 10 Goalkeeper Wonderkids You Must Sign
4. Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro (AZ Alkmaar)
He might rank fourth on this list, but he would definitely be right at the top if it were a list of coolest names.
Owusu-Oduro is a 17-year-old Dutch hot prospect currently suiting up for AZ's U18 side. So far he's made 17 appearances this season across all competitions and kept a tidy nine clean sheets. Being arguably the least developed player in this list, when buying Owusu-Oduro, you are basically betting on his upside.
And what an upside it is! He's already got good goalkeeping instincts, but his rawness prevents him from being an impactful addition to your squad straight away. That rawness could easily be polished into something brilliant, by giving him a couple of seasons in the youth teams and then maybe loaning him out.
With a carefully crafted training schedule and some match experience, you could see the Dutchman become a vital member of your first team that can provide you with the safety and reliability that is so crucial at the back. Even if you're operating on a shoestring budget, the £1.8 - 5.4 million valuation is very affordable, so it's hardly even a gamble.
