Name: Paco Alcácer
Age: 20
Club: Valencia CF
Position: Forward
Paco Alcácer – or 'Paquito' to fans at Mestalla – began to demonstrate his prolific goalscoring abilities as he rose through Valencia's youth ranks. He now seems destined to become a mainstay at the club of his dreams after exploding onto the scene this term. Alcácer made his senior bow aged 17 against UD Logroñés in the 2010/11 Copa del Rey, having top-scored for Spain as they reached the 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Championship final; he later lifted U19 continental titles in 2011 and 2012.

A striker known for his clever movement in opposition territory, he spent last season loaned to Getafe CF, netting three goals in 20 top-flight outings. Since returning to his native Valencia he has taken a mighty leap forward. "That was the best moment of my career," Alcácer told UEFA.com after hitting a hat-trick in the 5-0 quarter-final second-leg win against FC Basel 1893. That treble took his 2013/14 UEFA Europa League tally to seven. A recent U21 cap to his name, Alcácer can only get better.
