14 players (from outside Europe) that you need to pay attention to at this World Cup

Welcome back to Market Values, the official podcast of Transfermarkt! Episode 15 is here, and with the World Cup in full swing, we've gathered our global team of area managers and editors to shine a spotlight on the players you need to have on your radar - the hidden gems, rising stars, and transfer window wildcards flying under the radar at the tournament.This week, we go continent by continent. Our Asia area manager Tiberius Radziejewski kicks things off with four fascinating names: Japan's Keito Nakamura, already catching the eye of clubs like AS Roma after a stunning performance against the Netherlands; Uzbekistan's explosive young winger Abbosbek Fayzullaev; South Korea's attacking midfielder Jun-ho Bae, who could use his minutes at this tournament to seal a move away from Stoke City; and the wonderfully well-travelled Australian midfielder Paul Okon-Engstler, who announced himself on the World Cup stage in dramatic fashion against Turkey.Then we head to South America, where Marcus Watts (Brazil), Scott Christensen (Argentina & South America), and Samuel Vasquez Rivas (Colombia) join us to discuss Ecuador's rock-solid centre-back JJoel Ordóñez - linked with Liverpool, Tottenham, Juventus and Chelsea - Colombia's exciting young midfielder Gustavo Puerta, Brazil's electric Bournemouth winger Rayan, and Argentina's Valentin Barco.We round out the show with our Africa section, where we cover a handful of players with serious potential to become breakout stars of the tournament, including a certain familiar surname from Ivory Coast - Guéla Doué - who may just have a massive summer ahead of him.Whether it's transfer rumours, World Cup performances, or the next generation of global stars, we've got you covered.
