Ryan Gauld (Dundee United)
Ryan Gauld too has earned comparisons with a certain Lionel Messi, and the 17 year-old Dundee United starlet has already been watched by Liverpool, Everton and Manchester United this season.
Last night, Arsenal sent scouts to Tannadice to see Gauld in action against Kilmarnock, and he duly impressed, starting in a 5-2 victory.
The previous weekend he set up all four goals in a 4-1 victory over Partick Thistle, but was keen to play down comparisons with Argentina star Messi afterwards.
“I don’t think anyone will ever be like Messi,” Gauld told the Daily Mail.
“The stuff he can do with a ball is a joke. I just wonder how he does the things he does.”
Perhaps one day, with the top class training coaches and facilities of Arsenal, Gauld might find out.
