Who is Tottenham and Man United target Dario Osorio?
Dario Osorio is a professional footballer who plies his trade for Danish outfit FC Midtjylland and represents Chile at international level.
Osorio was born in the Chilean city of Hijuelas on 20 January 2004.
He joined the Universidad the Chile youth setup in 2015 after spells with Santiago Wanderers and Escuela Municipal Hijuelas.
Osorio’s big break came when he left Universidad de Chile for a move to Midtjylland last year for a reported fee of around £4million.
He has made 40 competitive appearances for the Danish club and helped them win the league title last season.
Two years ago, Football Talent Scout’s Jacek Kulig gave his verdict on Osorio.
Osorio was deemed a ‘flamboyant winger’ with great pace, dribbling skills, ball control, creativity, first touch and versatility.
The left-footer’s style of play was compared to that of Angel Di Maria and he was given an 8 out of 10 for potential.
