The striking and exciting thing about football is that every season new talents emerge that excite fans. This time, a new scorer in the Spanish league is wowing the biggest clubs in Europe, and one of them is Real Madrid. Look who it is.

Real Betis has the youth squad of the moment: his name is Assane Diao, he is just 18 years old and was born in Senegal, but he already has the nationality of Spain and has even played in the lower divisions of Spain. His appearance has been outstanding, without further ado. Goal against Granada on matchday 7, goal against Valencia on matchday 8, debut in the Europa Leagues against Rangers. Just three games in the first division and everyone is already talking about him!

Media such as El Confidencial have confirmed that Real Madrid has been following in the footsteps of this youngster since he arrived at Betis and that he is now on everyone's lips, but that it is nothing new for the merengue club, which has had its eye on him before. and that is really interesting. Assane Diao is one of the youth players of the moment and Real Betis seeks to shield him to prevent a big team like Madrid from taking him for a few million. The thing is that his market value is barely 200,000 euros, although there are those who say that they would ask for 30 million for him.

The Betis youth player and the star that already says it all

The statistics speak for themselves: the Betis youth player became the second youngest footballer in La Liga history to score two goals in his first two games. Only behind Pablo Pombo, from Racing Santander, who had the same record but at the age of 17 in '93. Manuel Pellegrini has begun to give him a lot of experience and it is expected that the youngster will continue in Betis' starting lineup, since He already drives the fans crazy and on the playing field he performs atrocities.
