Daishawn Redan 16, Dutch, Chelsea, Forward (boy am i dissapointed that Ajax couldn't hold onto him)
He was one of La Masia's top goalscorers as a kid and Leeds just bought him this summer.
Donnarumma, Meret, Locatelli & Kean were on last years List so they don't need to be added.
Gianluigi Donnarumma, GK, Milan 18
Alex Meret, GK, SPAL (on loan from Udinese) 20
DEF
Alessandro Bastoni, CD, Atalanta, 18
Davide Calabria, FB, Milan, 20
Lorenzo Dickmann, CD, Novara, 20
Claud Adjapong, FB/LM/RM/LW/FW, 19, Sassuolo

I doubt Felicioli and Llamas will be better than any other of the defenders written above
Dalot from PORTO sub 19, and RAfael LEAO DEFINETELY
Matteo Gabbia, 17, Italy, AC Milan, Defender
Jonathan Leko, 18, English, West Brom, Winger/Forward
