Sky Sports Scout - David De Gea

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 Atletico Madrid's David De Gea - Recommended by Sky Sports reader Francisco Sanchez of Madrid.

The scout reports...

Nicknamed Van der Gea by his team-mates because of his similarities with Manchester United star Edwin van der Sar.

De Gea is already recognised as one of the brightest goalkeeping prospects in Spain and has been capped up to Under-19 level.

He has overcome injury as a youngster to progress through the ranks and is now on the brink of the first-team picture.

His stature is different to many Spanish keepers as he is so big for his age and this stands him out, and his penalty-stopping capabilities are becoming renowned.

The scout says...

Manchester United have already sniffed around De Gea - but he is adamant he wants to break into the first-team at the Vicente Calderon and he may not be too far away this season.
