Name: Giovani dos Santos Ramírez
National team: Mexico (Group A)
Squad number: 17
Club side 09/10: Galatasaray (TUR) (on loan from Tottenham)
Position: Right Wing Forward
Age: 21
Caps: 26
Goals: 5
World Cup prospects:
Notice how he wins a penalty by elbowing the defender in the face. Pure 17 magic.
Likelihood of starting the tournament: Very good. He tends to start up front with newly-recruited United player Hernández and fellow weasel Vela.
Commitment to shirt: Excellent. Gio wore 17 at Barça, where he scored the above hattrick in his final game for the club. He also had 17 at Spurs and his sadness at not being able to get his hands on the hallowed shirt at either Ipswich or Galatasaray will be alleviated by the fact that he's bagged it for the World Cup. Incidentally, Mexico are 17th in the FIFA rankings, and five years ago dos Santos won the Under-17 World Cup...
How to follow him throughout the tournament: He has his own website but sadly it's not called giodossantos17.com.
