The youngster has made an impression at Boca Juniors, demonstrating that he can win the ball as readily as he can score on it.

He was one of South America’s most intriguing young players last season, making 30 games and contributing four goals and an assist.

Regardless, Rоbertson is expected to return in the first quarter of 2019 after suffering a shoulder injury.
