A move to Europe can be tough for any young player, but it helps if you have family around. That is definitely the case for Giovanni ‘Cholito’ Simeone, the son of Atletico Madrid manager Diego.
Giovanni made a real impression earlier this season after he scored against a dominant Juventus side to help Genoa - the club he joined in the summer - to a famous victory. But he is not some one hit wonder. The 21-year-old forward has struck 10 goals in his 20 league games this season.
That is creating interest across the continent, including in England. And why not. After all, Simeone is a powerful striker with an elegance to his game. He is also brilliant off the ball.
Everton are keen, according to reports in Italy. While those suggestions may not be true, this is only the start for a striker who could yet be better than his dad. Giovanni Simeone, the son of Diego Simeone, has scored 10 goals in 20 league games
