Great little video of one the “Future Best” players we are tracking. It’s El Salvador’s Franky Denis and he wants to be the next Zidane.

Future Best
We’re tracking a great young player from the Netherlands – Andre Jansen. Check out the best of Andre for 2011. We trust that 2012 will be an even better year for Andre as he continues to improve and gets closer to becoming one of the best players in the world.

Manchester United have trumped Real Madrid’s signing of 7-year-old Lionel Angle Coira by signing a player two years younger: 5-year-old Charlie Jackson.
Believe it or not.
Is there a limit to how young a signing can be?
Nope.
Surely you haven’t forgotten the 1-year-old Dutch signing famous for being able to repeatedly kick balls into a box?
Is this all sounding crazy?
Kind of.
But the thing is that though a player can’t sign a pro contract until the age of 16, once you have a player under your roof, the likelihood is that if he becomes great, like Lionel Messi did at Barcelona, he will stay with you and you will have secured a player you either wouldn’t have had access to or couldn’t have afforded.
If Charlie Jackson really is as good as his signing suggests – United’s move is one that I can’t disagree with as a soccer person.
As a parent though you’d have to give some serious thought about whether or not to sign on the dotted line.

We’ve been tracking Sandor for quite some time.
Sandor has been playing for Lee Mount Vernon Club since the age of four and his dream has always been to become a professional soccer player.
This video is a nice chronicle of how he has developed. Check it out.

According to his Dad, Antonio is “a kid that loves to play the game.”
That’s pretty clear. I love watching footage of the little ones.
Here’s some more info from Antonio’s Dad on one of the game’s future best:
- He has a dual passport: Australian & Italian.
- He is passionate about Football (Soccer)
- He is naturally left footed but can use the right foot as well.
- There are about 40 kids in the age group and they play 2 games a week. Each team consisting of 4 to 5 players. Antonio is pretty much the top ranking scorer amongst the 40 players.
- He is 5 years old and playing in the Under 6′s (Grassroots). He is the youngest of the group.
Sounds great. We’ll be tracking Antonio’s progress from here on in.
