Finland's U21 team qualified into UEFA European Under-21 Championship next year after beating Austria by penalty shootout. I picked some interesting players from the team.
Tomi Maanoja: GK, Has played last 8 games for AIK. Saved two penalties against Austria. Could get to Finland's A-team someday. Currently in database 77.
Jukka Raitala: Def, Currently playing for HJK but might get to AEK Athens january as AEK's scouts have been watcing him. In DB 77
Joni Aho: CB, regular for FC Inter. I saw this game against Austria and few other his games. He has totally made an impression to me. Can get abroad soon. In DB 78
Jussi Vasara: RM/AM, came on field at 50th min and saved Finland to the extra time with his 2 goals. 2 goals don't tell everything but i'll be watching him. Quite regular for FC Honka, in DB 75
Perparim Hetemaj: AM/W, was suspended from the Austria match but was very important for Finland during gualifing. Has came few times to field as a sub for AEK Athens, but I think he could get more and more playing time. In DB 80
Aleksandr Kokko: Fwd, fighting for the title of best scorer in "Veikkausliiga"(highest division in Finland). Good scorer with 11 goals in 22 games. Should get to a bigger club abroad maybe next year, in DB 77
There are more promising players in the team but these came first to my mind. If Finland's U21 team plays well in European Championship, players have great chances to get into bigger clubs like in Sweden or Greece, where have gone many young finns last years.
Here are few more promising players from Finland that are not playing for the U21 team:
Roman Eremenko: CM, has already became regular and important players for Finland's A-team(only 21 years old!). Playing in Ukraine for Dynamo Kiev. Very interesting player. Is now on DB 85, but if he becomes a regular for Dynamo, he can even hit 90 someday.
Teemu Pukki: Fwd, 18 years old, scored only goal in Sevilla Athletico's 1-0 win from Real Sociedad lately(Spanish second division). He's also playing for Finlands U19 team. Very promising player who has got much attention in Finland's media, in DB 75
Lauri Dalla Valle: Fwd, only 17 years old and like Pukki he has got very much attention by Finland's football media. Another promising youngster who is playing for Finland's U19. For about year ago Chelsea offered 1 000 000£ for him but Liverpool snapped him. Played well in Liverpool's academy scoring many goals and were picked up for reserves and if I remember right he has already scored for the reserves few times. Not yet in DB.
I'm not saying these guys would be must buys, but very promising players though.
I might add some more players later.
