Haris Vuckic

Haris Vuckic is another hot prospect who has fallen off the path a little bit. At the time of signing for Newcastle United in January 2009, AC Milan were reportedly interested – and has even offered him a trial.

He made his first appearance for the reserve team in February 2009, and came off the bench to score the winning goal.

Despite being marked as a hot prospect for his whole career, Vuckic only played seven times for the Magpies – and is now at Wigan Athletic on loan in League One.
