Martin Benitez // Independiente // 21 // Attacking Midfielder
Despite having made his debut at the tail end of 2011, attacking midfielder Benitez has finally begun to show his promise this season. Under new manager Mauricio Pellegrino, he has flourished after being moved to a number 10 role, scoring five times in as many games. Equally capable of operating on the flanks due to his pace and trickery, Benitez is versatile but seems to have found his home as a goalscoring threat in the hole behind the strikers. Still only 21, he will be a key player if Independiente are going to kick on and challenge for the title, especially if as expected Federico Mancuello moves to Europe.
Jonathan Calleri // Boca Juniors // 21 // Striker
One of the better known names on the list, thanks in no small part to the incredible rabona chip he scored versus Quilmes, Boca striker Jonathan Calleri is already well on his way to consolidating a starting position in the Xeneize line up. After his move from All Boys last summer, the powerful forward made impressive initial strides with eight goals in the second half of 2014. This year the 21-year-old has notched up a further 12 goals and 6 assists in 27 appearances across all competitions as he vies to become Boca’s number 9.
A powerful player with strong aerial prowess, Calleri is not just your average target man though as he possesses enough speed and technique to operate wide if necessary. Admittedly he is still raw and could be more clinical but his efforts against Quilmes and Temperley show a touch of class which has reportedly interested Arsenal and Brighton. Now he has the chance to profit from playing alongside Carlos Tevez which should boost his numbers further and establish his reputation as one of the best prospects still in Argentina.
