<h2>Facundo Torres</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210610_BUS_171879_facundo_torres_at_pexarol_crop1623332246157.jpg_22069893_3326d17b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Facundo Torres at Peñarol (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Talented 21-year-old <strong>Facundo Torres</strong> has recently broken into the Uruguayan national team, but he has been in the youth system since the U-15’s. It has been quite a year for Torres, splashing onto the scene at Peñarol in 2020 he is the Uruguayan league’s top player. Peñarol have valued the skillful forward at $20 million.</p>
<h2>Vinícius Júnior</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210610_BUS_171879_vinxcius_jxnior_crop1623332342205.jpg_22069893_95830933.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Vinícius Júnior (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Vinícius Júnior</strong> is only 20 and he has already played 80 games at Real Madrid, having gone pro in 2018. The winger is extremely talented, hard worker, and tricky when taking on defenders. With only 1 cap for Brazil, Vinícius Júnior could be key in helping Brazil repeat as champions.</p>
<h2>Emiliano Martínez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210610_BUS_171879_emiliano_martxnez_crop1623332444792.jpg_22069893_4a61f181.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Emiliano Martínez (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Argentina has been looking for a solid goalkeeper for what seems to be decades now, but the emergence of <strong>Emiliano Martínez</strong> at Aston Villa could be the answer to Argentina’s prayers. Martinez is very confident in goal and was Villa’s player of the season. This could be a perfect tournament to solidify his place as Argentina’s number one.</p>
<h2>Miguel Almirón</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210610_BUS_171879_miguel_almirxn_crop1623332523410.jpg_22069893_550db348.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Miguel Almirón (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Paraguay’s<strong> Miguel Almirón</strong> has a lot of talent, quick to take on defenders, a powerful outside shot, and great dribbling skills. MLS fans know what Miggy can do, in England he has more than held his own at Newcastle. Miguel Almirón is 27 years old, 2 goals in 30 caps is not what you want from arguably the national team’s most talented player. Miguel Almirón needs a big tournament to finally become a leader on the Paraguayan national team.</p>
<h2>Gonzalo Plata</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210610_BUS_171879_plata_crop1623332709549.jpg_22069893_122e7e98.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Gonzalo Plata (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Ecuadorian midfielder <strong>Gonzalo Plata</strong> is a 20-year-old winger on Portuguese champions Sporting CP, he has 4 goals in 10 caps for Ecuador. Quick and talented Plata could be the next big thing for Ecuador and this Copa America could be his coming out party.</p>
