Soler 'one to keep an eye on'

Bournemouth have been known for bringing in some exciting, young prospects in the past few years, providing the club with impressive squad depth and certainly helping the books with some healthy profits along the way.

As the International break is upon us, it looks as if the Cherries' recruitment team may have found another gem.

Julio Soler is a 20-year-old Argentine full-back who has been used as a back-up left-back to both Milos Kerkez and Adrien Truffert since joining. He is currently away from the club as he participates in the Under-20s World Cup in Chile, but he is getting on more than fine.

Soler has had the honour of captaining the Argentina side to the semi-finals of the competition, catching the eye with some impressive displays and making many a neutral believe they will end up victorious.

To be captaining his nation at such a young age will excite plenty of Cherries fans, added to the fact that the club have discovered many promising youngsters around the globe in recent times.

To come into Bournemouth as Kerkez's understudy was a solid start, particularly when you see the Hungarian's progression from when he joined the club to leaving for Premier League champions Liverpool.

He now sits as competition for Truffert, someone who has been capped by France.

There is clearly a nice pathway in front of Soler and it is definitely one to keep an eye on as Andoni Iraola's youthful squad continues to progress and impress the football world.
