Emanuel Mammana
The 20-year old Argentinian defender shares a historic record alongside current Barcelona star Javier Mascherano. They are the only players in the history of the Argentina national team to debut for the country’s senior side before they had made their first team debut at club level.
That is how highly Mammana is regarded in Argentina and the belief that they have in him. Just like Mascherano, he too started off as a midfielder at River Plate but went on to make the centre-back position his own.
Confident on the ball, great technical and passing abilities, combined with great awareness and the ability to be a step ahead of his opponents, Mammana had been linked with several English clubs but ended up moving to Lyon in the past summer, but still remains of interest to Tottenham.
