Signed today on loan from Manchester City by Mark Hughes' Stoke, bright youngster John Guidetti may finally get the chance to showcase his talent in the Premier League.
The striker who is fairly unheard of in England, Guidetti is a player who should be closely watched as he has the potential to be a very big player.
What makes 21 year old Guidetti interesting is the performances he showed in the Eredivise for Feyenoord in the 11/12 season. For the Rotterdam club he scored 20 goals in just 23 games in the Eredvise and became earmarked as a future star. During his season long spell in Holland, Guidetti scored three consecutive hatricks at home and Feyenoord coach dubbed him as a player with great potential, so much so he could exceed fellow countryman Zlatan Ibrahimovic one day.
A powerful, clever and assured forward, Stoke's newest acquisition could be a player that really shines for them in the remaining part of the season if he gets game time. He suits the new sort of football Hughes is playing at the Britannia being a big powerful striker and if he gets good service could become first choice striker for Stoke. Not one for beating players, Guidetti is known for turning and hitting shots rather than dancing round defences.
However, like many players his age, he can often not be fully focused on his football and it can show on the pitch.The Swede can be immature in his actions, something he has shown before at Feyenoord when he collected a second yellow card for taking his shirt off after scoring. His red card was blamed for Feyenoord conceding a late equaliser and Guidetti's thoughtless actions also meant he could not be selected for an important match at PSV the week after.
Guidetti for the first time has the chance to get game time in England and show his parent club his true potential against some of the best defences in the world. Watch this space...
