    I can’t fathom doing this at fifteen lol. He hasn’t been on the planet long enough to do this shit man.

    It’s absurd.

      And he is only 13, amazing to think about it, most people at 13 aren’t doing anything and this guy scored 2 against Liverpool

    Saw him play in the Youth League with the U19s, he’s very very raw which is obviously to be expected.

    Physically he’s well ahead of his age group, but physicality is not everything. It will be interesting to follow his career going forward.

      Yea, it’s usually the physically mature players that dominate these age groups. I remember Jay Emmanuel Thomas absolutely destroying every age group until hitting U23s and fully grown adults and suddenly he looked very average.

      Thankfully coaches can usually tell the difference between a player that is performing due to technical ability or due to physical advantage and know which ones who speed up through the age groups.
