Jack Taylor a young 6ft 4in CB on loan at Hornchurch from Sutton United caught my eye and worth scouting next season. |

Hopefully the club will one day be in a position to take advantage of the recent transfer rule changes and look to source players from overseas. A big wide world out there of players waiting to be discovered. Jordi Escobar, 21-year-old, 6ft 2in, Centre Forward, SD Logroñés. A strong and powerful player with decent aerial ability, two decent feet and someone who looks suited to the English game with his physical and technical attributes. A product of the Barcelona and Valencia youth systems, he was highly-rated and prolific as a youngster, scoring 27 goals In his first season with Valencia before backing it up with a further 19 goals in the following campaign. Appeared for Spain at U16, U17 (debut as a 15-year-old) and U18 level. Made a £2mil+ move to Almeria a few years ago, but is now playing his football at 3rd tier club Logroñés (22/23 average attendance 1,189). Contract expires June 30th 2024. Jaume Jardí, 21-year-old, 5ft 9in, Winger, Gimnàstic. Highly-rated as a youngster, the left footed winger was on the books of BOTH Barcelona and Real Madrid as a youngster and represented Spain at U16, U17 and U18 level. He trained with the first team and was captain of Barcelona U19 side where during one season he scored 21 goals in the youth league and followed that up the following season with 15 goals and 5 assists. Currently at Spanish 3rd tier club Gimnàstic (average attendance during 22/23 season 3,118). Contract expires June 30th 2026. Jordi Escobar looked a handful again today and scored with a decent finish vs a very talented Barcelona B side. As he is reportedly out-of-contract in the summer according to transfermarkt, he would be eligible for pre-contract negotiations now with teams abroad. 
...and Jaume Jardi scored too.  Jaume Jardi so much potential. |

Logi Hrafn Róbertsson a good prospect with not long remaining on his contract who can play CDM or CB. |

Amazingly MSV Duisburg are about to be relegated to the German fourth tier, but they do have a good player out-of-contract this summer in Niklas Kölle who can play anywhere on the left Attachment Deleted |

 Could we look to expand our recruitment to abroad?  I have seen decent data and heard good things about this 19-year-old 5ft 11in Italian-born Albania U21 international centre forward Stiven Shpendi at 3rd tier side Cesena for example and would be worth monitoring. I've watched lower league stuff in Germany too and could be an area to exploit. Certainly worth considering moving forward. View Attachment Stiven ended up joining Serie A club Empoli, but his brother Christian Shpendi is also a good striker in Serie C and one any smart recruitment teams will be all over.

Another gem in Serie C worth consideration is the combative and well rounded 23-year-old midfielder Mattia Sandri who is out-of-contract this summer. Lovely left foot. Attachment Deleted |

QPR have also released Nathan Jeche and I reckon he would be worth considering as a potential development player Attachment Deleted |

Another striker to keep an eye on this season is the 20-year-old Solihull Moors player Oladapo Afolayan. He joined them last season from Midland Premier League side Loughborough Uni (where he is also studying for an engineering degree) and is a former Chelsea youth team player. His manager Liam McDonald said: “Education is very important to Dapo and his family which is the only reason why he’s not already playing in professional football.” “I’m looking forward to working with him and have high hopes for this young striker. We’re excited by his addition to the squad as he’ll add raw pace and he’s technically very good." Since joining Solihull in February he has scored 6 goals in 13 starts (6 sub apps), including 2 goals in 4 apps so far during the 17/18 season. solihullobserver.co.uk/sport/from-toronto-to-solihull-the-rise-of-solihull-moors-striker-dapo-afolayan/ 👏 |
