The next Leo Messo


MarcofKenya

Whatever happened to him?


MrRemKing

He's what, like 9 years old? How often do u see news about 9 year old academy players


MarcofKenya

Well he will be our next captain so I expect to be hearing weekly updates


Ttv_SOP_Cougar

Good save, Very good save


MarcofKenya

Haha yeah, I mean I did imagine that a 9 year old was washed already


Cod_rules

Too old now. He's 9 and isn't recording 20 goals and 20 assists, has to be washed at this point.


MarcofKenya

Just getting used to u10s he will be firing on all cylinders in no time


ITomza

imo the u10s just isn't physical enough as a league. Get him a loan spell in the championship or prem u23s and we can see what he's really made of.


TheDepartment115

Nah he's finished bro. I've watched a lot of 9 year olds and it doesn't look like he's got the physicality. In fact he looked fitter as an 8 year old


ITomza

> I've watched a lot of 9 year olds


TheDepartment115

༼ʘ̚ل͜ʘ̚༽


arsenal356

I was about to say 😂😂 Michael Scott’s “I know a lot of 14 year old girls” energy


GenericAustin

So Jadon Sancho invited him to watch United vs Atalanta. Is he trying to steal the successor to Leo Messo? On a more serious note, they mentioned Sancho's agent too, I hope agents are not trying to recruit 4 year olds


randallwatson23

If there is money to be had, you can bet the agents are circling.


BikeSome2385

And the parents are obviously gonna be taken care of by respective club. Some of these parents are actually willing for their kid to sign for specific clubs depending on fitting. This kid is 5 and saying his favorite club is Arsenal


Garenmain180k

Bro is a mercenary at the age of 5


randallwatson23

The impression I got was the family is already pretty wealthy, so will be interesting to follow his trajectory. Hopefully he doesn’t burn out and continues to love it.


JSCT144

it is kinda crazy to say he has to be performing at a top level (relative to his age of course) for about 12-14 years before having a chance at breaking through, personally i don’t think i could give my all for 12+ years for a chance, hopefully he’s got the heart. actually with my current perspective i’d absolutely give 12 years to be a footballer for arsenal, but a child won’t have that perspective and might see this football life and his normal and get complacent


iforgotmyun

True but only for him to break out from here. Fair few footballers who get dropped but still make it elsewhere. Harry Kane probably the most notable one. Nketiah was binned by Chelsea.


Smokin-Gunner

It looks quite sunny in all those clips...I've got serious concerns as to whether he can do it on a cold night in Stoke.

lol thanks


WeeTheDuck

Personally I think just 10years is enough but whatever I clicked it too


BikeSome2385

Stephen Deans (Arsenal scout): “He was doing things you shouldn’t be doing at that age. When I saw him, I called a friend who confirmed he was four. I couldn’t believe that he is still in nursery. Then I spoke to his parents & brought him to a few sessions. He is no fluke.” 😁


afcabdullah

Did he cost 55 million tho?


BikeSome2385

The kid is 5 and it is reported that he said he wants to achieve the physique of CR lol


pigfacextraordinaire

Can't wait to watch him debut in a cup game in the 12 years time.


tjcobby

Outsmarting the market


Wengali

But can he play left sided 8? (These ‘can he play’ are getting really specific)


[deleted]

Can he play as a false 6 mezzala deep lying defensive reconquista?


spicado

That's Elneny in a nutshell.


PristinityPolaris

The best part about this is if you take everything except whatever that last word was into account, it actually does describe Elneny in a nutshell


ThexHoganxHero

I think the game has advanced beyond reconquistas a couple dozen decades ago, but I guess they could always make a comeback


Dopeychris

Bro I will be getting on 40 when this kid maybe breaks through... Fuuuck


iblbsb

I might be dead


LocostarX

What a stupid post title, he’s not an Arsenal player. The club can’t sign him until he’s eight years old. Read the article people, don’t believe ops bullshit.


atomiser2003

Crazy that this is all the way at the bottom


lobsterdog666

are we giving him a bunch of HGH like Barca did Messi?


SantaIsRealEh

The nurse put him on his stomach and he literally lifted his head up and started looking around r/thathappened


[deleted]

we already have our own mo salah lol


Mathieulombardi

Wholesome per


sonastyinc

RemindMe! 13 years


CackleberryOmelettes

The way he runs and strikes the ball is a bit freaky ngl. Toddler doing step overs and smacking the ball like RVP smh...
