@dewhirstVN Like I get it, it’s smart to have a big social presence if things don’t work out, but it’s a hell of a lot of pressure to put on the kid.

[The Academy @TheAcademy21]

This kind of pressure isn’t fair. I understand he is a special talent and looks better than any kid his age but he’s still a child, a young one at that.

Have we not learned from Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, and Ravel Morrison?

🗣️ "To be the best football player in the world."

7-year-old #LFC Academy player Arat Hosseini is being called the next Lionel Messi 👀👇

[The Academy @TheAcademy21]

Some outlets are reporting that Steven Gerrard’s appointment as Aston Villa manger could see them make a concrete move for Liverpool starlet Curtis Jones (20).

Do you think this move could materialise? They had perviously been linked with a £15-20m move.

[The Academy @TheAcademy21]

Absolutely amazing stuff - you won’t see a match like that again for a very long time! 🙌🏼

[Arsenal Academy @ArsenalAcademy]

WOW! WHAT A COMEBACK! 😱

Trailing by three goals deep into stoppage time...

No problem for #AFCU23! 🔥

Vs Real Bets

Moussa Diaby ⚽️⚽️🅰️🅰️

Florian Wirtz ⚽️🅰️

200% talent.

Keeping in the Boba Fett theme today...Thank you sir!!!

[The Academy @TheAcademy21]

Not an ad or anything but please give @Shirtsmith4720 a follow!

The bloke is a miracle worker - he’s given a new lease of life to this stunning Liverpool home shirt from 1998.

‘Tymon 9’ just didn’t look right… 😂

[Football Talent Scout - Jacek Kulig @FTalentScout]

Óliver Torres - probably the best teenager I have ever seen.

Passing, vision, technique, ball control, creativity, football IQ, spatial awareness, versatility.

Pure joy to watch.

He had a spark of this Xavi-esque magic in him.

Such a shame he never made it to the top.

[The Academy @TheAcademy21]

Pain. Pain. Pain.

Another FM legend that we won’t be able to buy when we load up a new save. What a baller Thiago Almada (20) is.

His linkup play with fellow Argentinian Ezequiel Barco (22) should be exciting.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

Thiago Almada is expected to join MLS side Atlanta in the next transfer window, player confirms: “Yes, the deal between Vélez and Atlanta United for December seems almost completed”, Almada told @tycsports. 🇦🇷🤝 #AtlantaUtd #MLS

It was almost done last summer and still on track.

[The Academy @TheAcademy21]

Fatawu Issahaku (17) has joined Dreams FC from Steadfast FC.

The youngster has scored 20 goals in 27 league appearances and so will now make the step up to Ghana’s first division.

There remains a lot of speculation that he will join Liverpool in the summer when turns 18.

[The Academy @TheAcademy21]

Plenty of youngsters made appearances in the League Cup last night.

Burnley’s Nathan Collins (20), Tottenham’s Bryan Gil (20), Liverpool’s Tyler Morton (18), Leicester’s Vontae Daley-Campbell (20), and Brighton’s Jeremy Sarmiento (19) were among those who featured.

[The Academy @TheAcademy21]

Congrats Josh! 🙌🏼

Adelaide United’s Josh Cavallo (21) came out as gay last night. He is the first Australian football star to do and this must have taken a lot of courage, especially given his young age. 🇦🇺

[The Academy @TheAcademy21]

Incredible coincidence. Not so incredible family.

Romano Mussolini (18), relative of the infamous Italian fascist leader, has been called up to the senior Lazio team.

He is a right winger too. Feels as though this was fated.

[Matteo Bonetti @Bonetti]

Benito Mussolini’s great grandson Romano Mussolini has been called up to Lazio’s first team by Sarri.

[The Academy @TheAcademy21]

Sepp van den Berg (19), who played as a wing back, might have lost but we’ll always have a soft spot for Neil Critchley. What a great bloke.

[Blackpool FC @BlackpoolFC]

THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS!!

🍊 #UTMP

[The Academy @TheAcademy21]

Tino Livramento (18) and Armando Broja (20) both on target for Southampton today.

The Saints are drawing 2-2 with Burnley.

Elsewhere Tom Davies (23), Reece James (21) and Callum Hudson-Odoi (20) also scored. Mason Mount (22) scored a hattrick.

Chelsea’s academy… 📝

[Maxi @MaaxiAngelo]

Remember the Erling Haaland rap? Well, the guy to the right, in a black t-shirt and a black cap, just scored two goals and assisted three in Bodö/Glimts 6-1 victory against José Mourinho's Roma. Incredible.

[The Academy @TheAcademy21]

Roma have just been pumped 6-1 by Bodø/Glimt.

The massively inexperienced side included Reynolds (20), Ibanez (22), Kambulla (21), Calafiori (19), Darboe (20), Perez (23), and Villar (23).

The team’s average age was just 23.3 years old, and that includes 33 year old Patricio.

Patson Daka (23) with three goals for Leicester City against Spartak Moscow. All coming between the 45th and the 54th minute too. Clinical.
