Yan Diomandé is putting together an exciting breakout season in the Bundesliga. Goals and assists are the product of driving carries, powerful dribbles and lots of touches in dangerous areas, playing off both wings for RB Leipzig. Gamebreaking profile and prospect that has hit the ground running.

Caleb Yirenkyi is Right to Dream's next big thing. The 19-year-old is having a stellar Superligaen season for FC Nordsjælland so far, showcasing a multi-faceted midfield skillset that fits at the highest levels and may command a league-record fee next year.

Llew Davies introduces him, play by play.

After 219 days on the sideline with an ACL injury, 22-year-old Alvyn Sanches returned to the pitch over the weekend for BSC Young Boys, his new club. Prior to the injury, he was having an outstanding season at Lausanne and establishing himself as the best talent in Swiss football. Back to it.

FC Nordsjælland have extended the contract of Caleb Yirenkyi through to 2030. Given his level of performance and profile and now the long-term extension, there is a strong chance he will be the record Superligaen sale (held by FCN already) when the time comes. Right to Dream does it again.

If a player gets the @llewdavies.bsky.social ‘Introducing’ treatment, take note.

Llew flagged Said El Mala during the U-19 EURO and I’ve piggy-backed off that ever since. This is one of the most destructive dribblers in Europe. It’s his first-ever top-flight season.

After noticing something different about Mike Penders' heat map against Lyon, @jakeentwistle.bsky.social investigated the reasons why it seemed odd.

It turns out the Belgian was doing a Manuel Neuer impression and he's the youngest goalkeeper on record to do it in a Big Five League.

Does modern football seem monotonous? Well, Morocco's U20 World Cup winners will make you fall back in love with the sport.

If you're not up for rewatching that tournament, @jakeentwistle.bsky.social has tried to find the most direct young players in Europe as an alternative cure.

You wouldn't compare a horse with a crab so why do Declan Rice and Moisés Caicedo comparisons flood our timelines during the international break?

On Sunday, Rayan attempted 4+ non-penalty shots in a single game for the 9th time this season, only Hulk can match him.

But, this time, there was something different. These shots were not like the others. This display was not like the others. Find out why in Monday Night SCOUTED:

You've likely never heard of him, but Tristan Crama is having an outstanding season at Millwall. Dominating his box, winning 80% of his aerial duels, playing forward with composure: the 23-year-old centre-back will be flashing up on Premier League clubs' radars.

Fully recovered from an ACL injury, 22-year-old Rafiu Durosinmi is scoring goals again in Czech and European football: he has nine in 17 so far this season for Viktoria Plzeň, one every 125 minutes, dominaiting the box. Want a co-sign? Eintracht Frankfurt had all but signed him before the injury.
