Age: 19

Position: CM

Growth Potential: 67-84

Cost: £ 1.5 million

Is he German, American, or Ethiopian? Zelaem is spoilt for choice when choosing which nation he wants to represent internationally, but he is more importantly developing a reputation as a future star.

The Arsenal man is yet to make his Premier League debut for the Gunners, and despite this setback he has already beaten Aaron Ramsey is a basketball shootout, which these days seems to be enough to earn him a call up to England. Unfortunately for the FA, he is not English.

Whilst he may not seem initially appealing stats wise, with his high growth rate, he can be shaped into pretty much any type of midfielder you want him to be. Zelaem is pure rare talent, and one that can be picked up for a relatively modest fee.
