Villas-Boas: Porto revamp scouting, highlight 4 young gems | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas was among the speakers at the Portugal Football Summit. The FC Porto president mentioned changes in scouting and youth development and highlighted four of the Dragons’ youngsters.

“Youth development? We’re in an investment phase. We’ve undergone profound changes. In scouting it seems we’ve found the right path, but we had to change direction. In youth development we’re well guided, but we don’t have the infrastructure. It’s known for being constantly on the move. With the start of construction on the High-Performance Center, which should be ready in a year and a half or two years and will be named after Jorge Costa, we will offer better conditions to young players. We hope to be able to feed the first team with talented youngsters. We have Rodrigo Mora, Martim Fernandes, Diogo Costa, Vasco Sousa on loan to Moreirense. They are FC Porto’s jewels and we want more. The more youngsters and the better they are, the better.”
