Sky Sports Scout is our exciting feature where we scour the globe looking out for the best talent and bring you a report on what we find.
Our Scout will report back and you can comment on what you think of our appraisal.
Also, in association with Football Manager, we give all readers the chance to win a copy of the latest game by nominating a player.
You can only nominate a player by emailing here, including the word 'Scout' in your subject line and please check to make sure we have not already covered the player, you can see over 100 previous reports to the right of the page.
Should your player get reviewed by our scout, and you were first to send in his name, then you will win a copy of Football Manager 2012, which is released in October.
You can also now interact with the scout via his all new Twitter feed! You can get in touch with him and interact here or just search for @skysportsscout!
Latest under our scout's gaze is Coventry youngster Gael Bigirimana - recommended by Sky Sports reader Graham Close.
The scout reports...

Having heard a number of good things about Coventry prospect Gael Bigirimana, I decided the time was right to take a check on him.
Bigirimana was born in Burundi and was forced to flee the civil war - aged just 11 he arrived in England as a refugee.
12 months after arriving in Coventry he knocked on the door of the club asking for a trial, now barely five years on he is playing regularly in the Championship.
A box-to-box midfielder, Bigirimana is technically very good which makes him an outstanding prospect when combined with his natural athleticism.
Bigirimana has suddenly emerged on the footballing radar this season when he made his Coventry debut in the league against Leicester - which came shortly after he was handed his first professional deal.
The 17-year-old's progress has also not gone unnoticed by England. Bigirimana was granted citizenship two years ago and was recently placed on stand-by for England's Under 19s which is a sign of his progress in recent years.
Despite Coventry's own struggles, Bigirimana has been a true shining light with his combative style. His passion for the game is also factor which has seen him already become a firm fans' favourite.
Bigirimana is currently playing more of a holding role, but he sees himself in an attacking role as he feels he would be better placed to use his creative attributes.
The scout says...

When playing it is like looking at a young Michael Essien - Bigirimana is a huge talent.
Ideally he would continue his footballing education in Coventry's first team - but his progress is already bringing him to the attention of some of England's top clubs.

He didn't watch him that carefully if he gave him 8 out 10 for tackling.

Tackling 8 out of 10? Were they actually at the game?

Maybe this is the reason we aren't playing him. He's really impressed so far and maybe Sisu are thinking of selling him before he has a bad game.

A bit harsh rubbishing someone elses religion? you obviously don't know Gael, he is one of the most humble lads within football and will only go if he is forced to.. Last time I heard, his agent was Cyrill Regis

Why bring faith bashing into it? I wouldn't call it stupidity, however I would call your comment ignorant.

Anyway... It's so bittersweet this season. We should have so much hope and inspiration for the future. The trouble is, it's hard to see one at all!!

No need to bring his beliefs into it! Im no religious person but fair play to him i say for commititing himself to something! And he does seem a genuinley nice kid! How many other kids do you know that would make such an effort to get into the game, get himself a trial and earn a contract??

I was in the year below Gael at Ernesford he always comes to the sixth form and has a little chat, yesterday he said that he's been working hard to get back in the team and he thinks he'll be back Saturday. I hope my knowledge is appreciated on here and people don't think I'm a WUM or liar

I know no ones gonna believe me but.... Before he signed the pro deal with Cov, Man City offered him a house and car and god knows how much in wages but he signed with cov because he knows people who have gone to Manchester city at his age and the money has ruined them

current value 2 million ????

If that was to go to Thorn, snap someones hands off

We could get at least 3 players with that to keep us in this league

Nah, we'd get one crap over-weight lower league player and the rest would go to SISU.
