10 U-23 Players To Keep An Eye On During The World Cup

7. Hirving Lozano (MEXICO)

Hirving Lozano, affectionately known as "Chucky" to fans, is one of Mexico's most exciting young players right now. The speedy winger made the move to PSV last summer from the Mexican league and instantly adapted to Dutch football, going on to have a breathtaking season in which he scored 17 league goals and set up 8 more for his teammates, helping the club to a league title.

With a strong right foot, Lozano is equally adept playing on the right or left wing and enjoys cutting inside and using his superior dribbling skills to outwit defenders. Lozano's fellow countryman, Javier Hernandez, was one of the breakout players of the 2010 World Cup and the 22-year-old could enjoy a similar success story this summer.

Despite being drawn in a group with World Champions Germany, Mexico will be hopeful of reaching the knockout stages and Lozano is definitely one of the most lively and dynamic young stars to keep an eye on when the tournament gets underway.
