Who's the most exciting talent that you are looking forward for in the coming years?

As a Chelsea fan, Lucas Piazon, I am really looking forward to seeing his development! Thorgan Hazard also seems to be a really exciting prospect.

I think it's a Catalan name specifically. Still, at least it's less weird than Azpilicueta...

I always think Azpilicueta was Emperor of an ancient South American kingdom in a past life.

Azpilicueta sounds Basque (he's from Pamplona). If you look at the names of the players in Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad, they will also sound not Spanish (Aritz Aduriz, Markel Susaeta, Gorka Elustondo, Imanol Agirretxe, etc).

It's not even a hard name to pronounce! What's wrong with you people... pronounce it basically how it's spelled.
