The Analysis

According to most people in the know Mr.Castaignos is the hot ticket in town right now. The 16 year old has been targeted by the elite clubs across Europe but according to many reports his parents are keen for him to finish his footballing education in Holland which is usually a great league for players to hone their skills.

Apparently some sides are considering offering a contract to the youngster and then loaning him back to Feyenoord, a deal that seems to be gathering momentum. Rafa Benitez is named as being in the leading pack in this chase as he looks to continue to wheel and deal and locate players for the future.

The Likelihood

Castaignos to Liverpool: It’s always a calculated risk to sign someone so young but may well be the financially astute thing to do if the kid is as good as many believe him to be.
