The junior national player of Bulgaria, Martin Georgiev, was included in the prestigious ranking of UK's The Guardian for the 60 most promising football talents in the world. 
The defender, who moved from Slavia to Barcelona this season, is presented as physically strong and at the same time able to meet the high technical requirements of the Catalans, sportal.bg reports. A few days ago, Georgiev turned 17, but he is already a regular starter in the Bulgarian national team (U19), and also plays for Barcelona's 19-year-olds.
