Here is one who is not afraid to show his talent early. Only 17 years old, Martell Taylor-Crossdale is a rough diamond. He has just joined this season the Chelsea's under 18 squad, Taylor-Crossdale showed that he had all the caracteristics to become a future great player. An already very impressive size for his age, with his 6ft1, he dominates physically a lot of his opponents. But this is not his only weapon, he is endowed with a superb vista and with a rare technical ease there also for a player so tall, as illustrated by his 22 goals in 23 matches.
Like a control tower distributing his orders, the young Englishman is capable of distilling excellent balls in the intervals to his teammates to accelerate the game at every moment.
And when it is not enough, the London-born is capable to use dribbling ability to eliminate the opponents and find itself near the box to show his powerful strike of ball. Not still old enough, his market value will be established next year and if he keeps the momentum, it is without any problem that the bids should fly away.
A clinical finisher, technically gifted and good passer. Taylor-Crossdale possesses a very complete arsenal to terrorize the defenses. He will be the English offense's spearhead during the tournament, which well hopes to keep its title of champion of the Tournament this year.
