Scout who found Orozco says he ‘will reach’ the Premier League | OneFootball

Talent scout Agustin Garizabalo, who discovered Albion midfielder Matias Orozco, believes the 18-year-old is on course for the Premier League.

Orozco won his second Colombia cap in a 1-0 friendly defeat to Paraguay in New Jersey. He came on for the final 20 minutes and faced Diego Gomez, who played the full 90 for Paraguay.

The teenager has started strongly on a season-long loan at Castellon, early leaders in Spain’s second tier. He joined Pablo Hernandez’s side soon after completing a summer move from Deportivo Cali to the Seagulls.

“I first saw him in the Sincelejo tournament and what caught my attention was I could not tell what position he was playing. He appeared on the left, on the right, in the middle. He took shots,” he told Gol Caracol.

“I don’t think he is a player who can only play in one position for Nestor Lorenzo (national team head coach). He can put him where Cali did (defensive midfield) but from there he can contribute offensively.”

“Everything has been given to Matias. He won the lottery because everything has gone his way. I think sooner rather than later he will be playing in the Premier League.”
