Nestory Irankunda announced himself as one of Australian football's most exciting prospects when he signed for Bayern München as a teenager — a rare endorsement from one of Europe's elite clubs. The South Sudanese-born winger, now at Watford after a loan spell at Grasshoppers, possesses the kind of explosive acceleration and dribbling instinct that unsettles defenders at any level. Still only 20, he is raw but genuinely thrilling, and the Socceroos will hope his development curve continues sharply upward in time for a home World Cup where he could be one of the tournament's breakout names.
