10 Players You’ve Never Heard Of Who Could Star At World Cup 2018

6. Cristian Pavón (Argentina)

Cristian Pavón is a name we'll surely be hearing a lot more in the future, with this young Argentinian being very highly rated by football experts and followers of South American clubs. Argentina have a lot of talent to call on, so it's a testament to 22-year-old Pavón's skills that he made the final cut for his nation's World Cup squad.

For now, he's only played domestically in Argentina but has five international caps to his name and has already attracted a lot of attention from Europe's giants. The talented forward can probably be expected to transfer away from current club Boca Juniors in the not-too-distant future, especially if he has a good World Cup.

Happy to play as a left or right winger or even down the middle, Pavón is coming off the back of a fantastic season in which he scored 6 league goals and made 11 more for his teammates. He's one of Argentina's most promising talents and will be a key man to watch as the group games get underway.
