Angelo Balanta has come through the
youth ranks at QPR playing at under 18, reserve and now first team
level.
Balanta impressed in the under 18's
this season scoring eight goals in eleven games. At reserve level
he also impressed scoring three goals in seven games and De Canio
saw enough to be impressed and hand him a first team debut in December
as a late substitute against Crystal Palace.
Balanta made his first start as a left
winger at Watford and he created two goals in an impressive 4-2
win. Balanta also got on as a substitute at Chelsea which must have
been a big boost for the youngster.
His first home start came in February
as Balanta scored in a 1-1 draw with Sheffield United. He can play
on the left wing or up front where his pace and awareness have already
helped him stand out and he looks to have a good future ahead of
him.
