WahI don’t really watch players who don’t give a feck about their clubs. If you want to go ahead. Support Arsenal while you’re about it.
Well explosiveness can be developed with weights and age as his legs grow, and he has access to world class trainers so hopefully if that’s all he needs to develop physically, then he has a real shot!Injuries permitting, I can see this lad getting at least a opportunity at first team potentially. Technically he's very gifted and some have even drawn comparisons with Jay Jay Okocha.
If he can improve his explosiveness over the first few yards then I do believe he could go far in his career. But there's no question that he's blessed technically.
It'll come down to his mentality and what he's up against as far as competition for places goes. There's quite alot of talented playmakers coming through at the club at a similar age but the next 12 months will be interesting to see regards his development.Well explosiveness can be developed with weights and age as his legs grow, and he has access to world class trainers so hopefully if that’s all he needs to develop physically, then he has a real shot!
Asking a kid whose parent called him "Zidane" if it was hard to persuade the same parent to become a professional footballer... That is some quality investigative journalism right thereTweet

Go home, you’re drunkIf he has got anything like Zidanes Iq on the bal he would be great.
Damn.. this kid looks good.
Very good ball control. But I also have great ball control playing with a tennis ball in the house all the time. But to have been good, I need to have an awareness around me. Also there needs to be an end product. He reminds me of pereira, but with a lesser end ball. He shows promise and could improve, let’s not get carried away, plenty of flashy kids with great ball control these days.
Don’t think anyone’s getting carried away, you’re putting that spin on it.Very good ball control. But I also have great ball control playing with a tennis ball in the house all the time.

Nothing to suggest he has a lack of awareness to be fair.Very good ball control. But I also have great ball control playing with a tennis ball in the house all the time.

Even in that video I don't consider awareness to be an issue. His first touch always seems to take the ball away from danger and even when he does get caught in possession he almost gets away with the ball due to his quick feet and trickery.Very good ball control.

Exactly. Pereira was thought of as being very talented.Having a player in the youth ranks remind you of Pereira in the youth ranks is no bad thing
First goal looked like Zidane right?Tweet

Zidane first. Emeran with the blonde hair and Hugill with the header I think.First goal looked like Zidane right?
3rd one is Hugill, 4th is Bennett, they've tagged the score of each as a captionZidane first. Emeran with the blonde hair and Hugill with the header I think.
Zinedine Zidane is of a Muslim Algerian back ground hence his name being Zinedine.I remember being gobsmacked when I learnt that "Zinedine" originated from the arabic name "Zain Uddin".
Anyhow, we don't need Sancho when we got this kid!
From the thread, he’s a high skill player but very slow. Never been capped at international level.Is he highly rated in the academy?
Must be crap. He's got 0 goals 0 assists in the premier league this season. Hasn't got a card on FIFA 20 either. Sell him. Keep Lingard.From the thread, he’s a high skill player but very slow. Never been capped at international level.
Ah ok. I haven't really ever heard much about him tbh.From the thread, he’s a high skill player but very slow. Never been capped at international level.
Disagree on 2 points.English coaches generally prefer pace when they look at potential talents. In that aspect it seems very difficult for him that he will make it here.
Also somehow there is an inherent bias against footballers of south asian origin,they are considered weak and slow, even when players of Spanish and Portugese origin who are of similar structure and physique have done exceptionally well in english football. There is a documentary too on YouTube about it. Also I didn't like the fact that they asked him whether he would like to represent Pakistan, they wouldn't have asked a young prodigy like him if he was of African or Caribbean descent.
There aren’t many top attacking players about with little pace these days is there? The game is becoming increasingly physical and low work rate or physically limited 10s have become almost obsolete. Mata is an outlier.Disagree on 2 points.
- All smart coaches prefer pace.
- Not every midfield player needs pace. Mata and Matic are a couple without.
His mother is bang tidy!Where's his mum from, she's pretty hot!
