Giovanni Dos Santos is only 20 years old but already there is a feeling that the young Mexican is not meeting his true potential.

However, Juan Thornhill Jersey although it is believed that the Spurs manager rates Dos Santos he was farmed out to Ipswich in January 2009 to gain experience. This short term loan proved to be fruitful; he scored 4 times in 8 games and quickly became a fans favourite.His return to White Hart Lane has so far been hampered by niggling injuries and he has been used sparingly mainly in the Carling Cup.Baby faced Giovanni was born into a footballing family. His Brazilian father played for Mexican League teams in the 80s and his brothers Eder and Jonathon play for Club America and Barcelona respectively.Dos Santos burst onto the international scene during the under 17 World Championships where Kansas City Chiefs Jersey his displays earned him the Adidas Silver ball, second behind Manchester Uniteds Anderson. Barcelona was quick to recognize his potential and he was drafted into their famed youth squads.Again in the under 20 World Cup in copyright his performances were enthralling, quickly becoming Mexicos key man and although his team were eliminated in the quarter finals by Argentina he was awarded with the Adidas Bronze ball.Football journalists and pundits were gushing with the praise, heralded as the next Maradonna( or maybe Hugo Sanchez) it seemed like the world was at his feet.Since then it has career trajectory has plateaued.Maybe guilty of impatience at Barcelona he unwisely opted to move on to Tottenham and while his chances may were thwarted by me srs Me si, Iniesta and Xavi at the Nou Camp, Modric, Krankjar and Lennon are often before him on match days at White Hart Lane.Playing behind the main strikers he often creates opportunities for his team-mates with incisive runs and close ball control. When given an opportunity to score he is composed usually electing to round the keeper a slot into the gaping goal. He reminds me of Gianfranco Zola although not as physically strong, this may be why he is struggling in the rumble tumble of the premiership.For Mexico Dos Santos has become a pivotal figure and has performances often have a bearing on Mexicos final result. Current national bo s Aguirre quickly realized this upon his recruitment and in recent World Cup qualifiers the main attack has flowed through the young Mexican. It was this ploy that contributed to Mexicos recent Gold Cup succe s where he linked well with talismanCuauhtemoc Blanco and Arsenals Carlos Vela culminating in the 5-0 demolition of the USA.I have managed to see Dos Santos twice live, once againstHeart of Midlothianin a pre-season friendly and again in the World Qualifier against the USA in the Harrison Butker Jersey packed full Azteca. Both times he was head and shoulders the best player on the park.If he is to impre s in South Africa he must gain more playing time. Maybe another loan to a Championship team or Spain can provide this more opportunities.Either that or Harry Redknapp might realize what a gem he has in his dre sing room.
