As part of the large Portuguese contingent over at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Pedro Neto looks a deeply precocious talent. The 20-year-old signed from Lazio and has already started to get a fair amount of games, albeit mostly from the bench. He regularly plays across the forward line, though, having played both on the left and right. He’s even made some big impressions up front, having set up goals and scored goals as the teams nominal central striker.

While he’s got a lot of work to do physically, it’s fair to say that the tactical and technical ingredients are there.

What makes him so special?

For Neto, the one thing that stands out is his maturity. If you didn’t know he was a 20-year-old making some of his first senior football appearances this season, you would never have guessed. While he gives away too many fouls and can lack tactical discipline, his ability to pick out passes when on the ball and to win fouls in key areas for his team is a great asset in one so young.

He’s a strong player, too, and does a good job of holding onto the ball for his team. Add in his ability to link up with his teammates and both create and score goals, and he looks a deeply interesting prospect for the Midlands side.

His strongest asset, though, is his deep crossing and his distance shooting. An excellent striker of the ball, Neto knows how to hit a strike cleanly and keep it on target from the moment it leaves his foot. He’s got excellent technical prowess; at 20, too, his tactical skills are not as bad as you might see with other talents.

Despite his lack of gametime at this level, he looks far less raw than fans might have expected – for Wolves fans, he’s arguably the most exciting prospect at the club.

While Norwich City might be set for an immediate return to the Football League, their Argentina midfield diamond Emiliano Buendia isn’t likely to go back down with them. The 23-year-old has quickly established himself as a creative force in the league, standing out like a sore thumb.

In games where the Canaries seem to have very much went down the coal mine, Buendia has shone brightest. Alongside Todd Cantwell and Max Aarons, Buendia has the best chance of sticking around the top flight for a long time to come.

What makes Emiliano Buendia stand out?

You name it, and Buendia can do it. The Norwich midfielder is one of the best combination players in the top flight at the moment. He wins the ball, he lays it off with intelligence, and he can pass equally well long and short.

He’s great at holding off the opposition and then moving forward with the ball. Decision making? It’s excellent. He often picks the right pass, shot, or dribble. His defensive contribution is among the most impressive in the league, too. For a player who does so much to create in midfield, he does so much work in defence and forward positions. Really, he’s one of the most complete young midfielders in the Premier League as it stands.

What does Emiliano Buendia need to work on?

Despite his age and top flight experience, there are precious few parts of Buendia’s game that needs work. He wins the ball back a lot from the opposition, and he likes to get stuck in. He also wins a lot of set pieces, and tends to be great at putting dead balls in from corners and free kicks.

His delivery accurate, his tackling sound, his passing crisp and his finishing decent enough. For a player at his age and experience, Buendia really does come close to having it all.

Rangy and powerful, Wilfred Ndidi is the latest in a long line of talents from Belgium to thrive in the Premier League. The Nigerian international honed his game in the middle of the park for Genk. In a short space of time, he’s gone from a potential superstar to a coveted piece of the jigsaw for most top clubs in the land.

If Ndidi is to keep progressing as he is, then it would be no surprise at all to see him at the top clubs.

What makes Wilfred Ndidi stand out?

Everything – he’s one of the most complete midfielders in the Premier League. Outside of goals (see below), he’s a tremendous talent. He manages to help win the ball back quickly and then spring it forward. He’s outstanding in the air, playing a fine role at set pieces and games when the Foxes are under the cosh.

The midfielder is one of the most talented players mentally. Rarely anything less than a 7.5/10, he has a good game almost every week. His concentration is something that is so impressive for a young midfielder. If you never knew he was under 24, you would assume that Ndidi is a 30-plus years old international captain.

His vast experience and reading of the game ensures that, for many, he’s among the best players in the country.

What does Wilfred Ndidi need to work on?

Really, it would be hard to point out a major weakness. One could say that Ndidi is not a good goalscorer, but defensive midfielders who score goals are very rare indeed. His poor goal scoring record aside, Ndidi has managed to carve out a position for himself as one of the most consistent players in the UK.

He’s become a household name due to the solidity of his game, and how reliable he is. Goals are purely secondary.

Once seen as a prodigious talent, Adama Traore has enjoyed a confusing career so far. His early career promise at FC Barcelona was quickly replaced by a season of bewildering confusion at Aston Villa. Seen as a speed merchant with horrible decision making, Traore has begun to blossom in 2019 and into 2020.

Working under one of the most intelligent coaches in the game in Nuno Espirito Santo, he’s developed very quickly indeed. Now, it would be hard to point out too many obvious weaknesses in his game!

What makes Adama Traore stand out?

His build and his physique are an obvious starting point, as is his pace. For us, though, it’s his ability to shoot from distance and to pick tight passes in very congested areas that makes him such a threat. Traore is improving all the time on his shot, pass, and dribble selection.

He’s beginning to become more used to laying off passes and dribbling smaller distances. In the past, his main issue was that he would try and dribble the length of the pitch. Now, he lets the ball do most of his running and uses his energy to force the ball forward. When he’s on the ball now, he’s far more decisive and intelligent in his play.

What does Adama Traore need to work on?

While he’s still having to work on the defensive side of his game, his main issue is discipline. If Traore can pick his position on the pitch better, he will be much more likely to stay accurate and onside. His passing and finishing, too, are not perfect; but for a wide player, that is to be expected.

For the most part, Traore needs more games and more time to develop. With that, he could unleash the frightening potential that he’s had all along.

Until recently, betting customers had a limited number of options when it came to making a deposit into their betting account and then making a withdrawal. The primary payment method was using a debit card where punters had to enter the long card details along with an expiry date and security code, something that many customers found a laborious process.

There was also the reluctance on the part of some players to divulge their banking details despite the fact that every online bookie has safe and robust measures in place to ensure that all payment details are encrypted and protected. However, we have now seen many new payment methods emerge including e-wallet solutions such as PayPal.

PayPal is a fantastic way of paying for things and that includes funding your betting account by simply linking your PayPal account and then clicking on the PayPal option when making a deposit or a withdrawal. It’s especially good if you open several betting accounts and want a nice simple way of getting funds transferred in a quick way.

How Many PayPal Betting Sites Are There?

There are lots of PayPal betting sites available and the vast majority now realise that customers want to go down the e-wallet route rather than type in bank card details which can be an error-strewn process, not to mention a drain on time.

When you visit a particular betting site, you should be able to determine the available payment methods either by scrolling to the foot of the homepage or clicking on the Payment Methods link and understanding how you can deposit or withdraw.

Alternatively, when you sign up for a betting account and fund your account for the first time, you should be able to locate PayPal from the list of options and that’s the opportunity to link your PayPal account with your betting account.

The huge advantage to PayPal is not only instant transfer but also a faster withdrawal time compared to a debit card. Many bookies instantly switch the funds back to your PayPal account and you can then choose to withdraw back to your bank account from there.

There are a couple of downsides. Naturally, an instant withdrawal to PayPal is great but there’s also the fact you have to go to PayPal and then make another transaction if you want the cash back in your account.

Also, please check the free bet promotion to see if PayPal is eligible. Sometimes a bookmaker will not let you claim a bonus through PayPal and it’s worth double checking on this front.
