I have mentioned this player in the "Wilf replacement" thread but think that maybe it is more suitable to have him as a new thread. If it goes against BBC rules to have the same content in two different threads, I'll delete my post from the "Wilf" one as I think he deserves his own thread.
Camilo Mena is 20 years old, Colombian, and was scoring for fun in the Latvian top division last season. He's not being discussed anywhere, so we could go for him before he breaks out into the Colombian first team and goes considerably up in value.
He is extremely versatile, though normally plays left wing in Zaha's position, but is equally effective as a centre-forward. This season he's played right-wing.
Ever since getting IPTV and not working at the moment, I have been watching a lot of interesting leagues, and this guy stood out for me when I saw him score a hattrick for Valmiera FC in a 4-1 win against Spartaks Jūrmala.
According to Wikipedia, in To view the link you have to Register or Login he was one of only three players to score hattricks, and he was the third highest goalscorer at 14 goals - but he also gave 15 assists that season. That's 29 goals or goal contributions in one season, aged 19!!
(And this is in a team that scores a lot of goals. His teammates Raimonds Krollis scored 24 and Djibril Gueye scored 12.)
Needless to say, Valmiera FC won the Latvian title last year for the first time in their history, thanks to Mena and his two prolific team mates.
But Mena is just 20. According to To view the link you have to Register or Login:
This season he went on loan to a Polish side which has been a mistake, as he's being played out of position (right wing) and has only come on as an impact sub for four games, and failed to make an impact so far. He is being wasted there. But the loan deal will finish in the summer and then supposedly he's back in Vamiera. But Valmiera are in a precarious financial position, in spite of winning the league in Latvia last season, because their sponsor went bankrupt recently, so they are likely to take a good offer.
To view the link you have to Register or Login, he's valued at just €1.20m - considering he is, and I quote again, the most influential under-20 player in world football, with more goals and assists than any other player under the age of twenty worldwide we should make an offer. I'd reckon 2 million quid and he's ours. With maybe a deal should we sell him on. His contract with Valmiera FC runs out in the summer of 2025 (oddly, Transfermarkt doesn't seem to know that, but I spotted that fact at the start of this other showcase reel:
On Transfermarkt it says June 2023 but that's just the end of his loan-spell with the Polish side Jagiellonia Bialystok.
So, considering Valmiera's precarious finances (so much so that they loaned him out this season after he basically won them the team's first title last season) I think they'd agree to sell him for 2 million plus add-ons, but the main thing is, he's not being mentioned by ANY OTHER TEAM in the premiership. He could be a gem.
His agent is To view the link you have to Register or Login. Does anyone have Dougie's details and show this to him. Far better than fight with other Prem teams for players already on everyone's radar.
If Dougie needs someone to translate for him, I'm a fluent Spanish speaker :lux:
Oh, BTW, he also comes across as a really nice guy in this training video:
Another compliation video of his goals and skills in Latvia? Oh, go on then...
