Football Manager 2016: 20 Wonderkids You Must Sign

8. Sergio Diaz

Age: 17 Club: Cerro Porteno Position: Striker Value: £300k Sergio Diaz is available for under £1 million at the end of the 2015-16 season (or before) and is another Football Manager 2016 wonderkid. The player has been linked with Roma and Chelsea in real life and is extremely highly-rated across Europe. Diaz is best deployed as a poacher and if you gently ease him into your first team setup he will grab goals. He can also play on the left side as an inside forward but I found he wasn't as effective in that role. The Paraguayan's runs off the ball and nimble agility make him a handful for defenders.
