Sky Sports Scout is our exciting new feature where we scour the globe looking out for the best talent and bringing you a report on what we find.

Our Scout will report back and you can comment on what you think of our appraisal.

Also if you want to nominate somebody to feature - please get in touch.

Latest under our scout's gaze is Feyenoord's Georginio Wijnaldum - Recommended by Sky Sports reader Nathan Scout.

The scout reports...

Wijnaldum delivered a very impressive debut performance for Feyenoord at the age of just 16. Despite losing 4-0 to Groningen, Wijnaldum was named Man of the Match.

Last season was Wijnaldum's breakthrough campaign as he made ten appearances and scored once - but he stood out as a real find for the Rotterdam giants.

During those ten appearences the attacking midfielder caused lots of trouble in the defence of the opposition. Wijnaldum gets past his man easily because of his dribbling and tricks. He also showed his natural ability to pass the ball.

Wijnaldum is set to make more appearences this term after starring in Feyenoord's pre-season and he could very well be a mainstay of the side within a matter of months.

The scout says...

Size is a concern for Wijnaldum as he can be easily barged off the ball at times, whilst his shooting is an issue - but he carries on improving then he could be one of the next generation of Dutch stars.

The Scout rating...

Shooting: 6 out of 10

Passing:9 out of 10

Heading: 6 out of 10
