FC Porto got a new dragon, the young 17 years old Iturbe, that plays in Argentina's Sub-20 National Team, have you seen him play? Seen by many as the next Leonel Messi because of its explosive speed and skill. What do you think?
FC Porto is well known for producing top level players and for launching them in the best clubs on Europe, being Porto itself on the top 10 of Fifa's rankings in 2010.

I always come across such news from time to time.
Few days back there was some kid who was termed as new Ronaldo.Never heard about him later. These comparisons always keep coming.
I think people should allow these players to develop first rather than flash the in the media. If they are worth the attention, they will get it.
They just need to do what they are supposed to do, play Football.

I've seen some highlights of the kid. He's really good but he's also very young. Give him another year or 2 and if he's still producing at this level than he may be something special.
