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 in association with Football Manager - we give all readers the chance to win a copy of the latest game by nominating a player.

You can only nominate a player by emailing here - but should your player get reviewed by our scout, and you were first to send in his name - then you will win a copy of Football Manager!

Up this week for the scout is Mexican Martin Galvan who was recommended by Football Manager supremo Miles Jacobson.

The scout reports...

Cruz Azul striker Martin Luis Galvan, at the age of 15, is already been called the revelation of Mexican football.

Galvan is the typical player that has the face of a child but the body of a mature man.

This player was promoted to the first-team squad by the Uruguayan coach Sergio Markarian at the age of just 13

Galvan has a lovely style when he has the ball at his feet and also has a big heart and he doesn't have any problem mixing it against players much older than him.

His talent and quality, along with his fast movement around the pitch, make him very difficult for the defenders to get near him.

The scout says...

Galvan is not yet a top star in Mexico but it is just a matter of time before he becomes one of their most important players - as long as he can keep his feet on the ground.
