Sounds good enough for the first team already, might as well give him a run out given we’ve tried everyone else up front.4 goals for the under 16 v the toon. Looking a very special talent.
He should play upfront. With Lacey taking up the right wing (next month?), and with Williams playing more for the u21s, he could have a spot up there.He may be a special talent but it’s hard to say as we’ve seen so little of him so far. He’s only had a fleeting spell for the U18s last season and has missed most of this season due to injury.
See how he gets on when he does eventually rejoin the U18 fold.
Also Hannibal, Gore and Kambwala recently making first team appearancesGlad he's back after what sounds like a nasty injury. Sounds like he's picking up were he left off too, Hopefully with Mainoo, Garnacho and Lacey we can have a pretty promising academy grown spine in afew years time

A lot of kids in the academy get injuries as they have their growth spurt. Ibragimov seems to have been going through his and looks a lot taller (and stronger) to the eye! Hopefully he’ll be moved up to the 18’s so we can start seeing what he’s all about because he’s definitely got supreme talent and could be a sensation if things go his way with injuriesWhat was it? Seems like quite a few of our young talents struggle with injuries at a young age. Maybe that is more normal than I think.
But it is quite remarkable how «injury free» the best players manage to stay through most of their careers. You would think that playing and training every single day is a strong «multiplier» for young players, even beating talent in the long term.

Aye, only thing this U18 side is really lacking is a quality striker.He should play upfront. With Lacey taking up the right wing (next month?), and with Williams playing more for the u21s, he could have a spot up there.
Nice can be our loan to club I’m sure. Can also get them to sign South Americans and devlop them for us to purchase laterNeeds to go on loan to Ajax or Dortmund...he will shine

I think I mentioned something similar about Rooney before. Can play anywhere on the pitch the game intelligence is so high. Got a similar attitude too. Like the goal against Arsenal, hard tackle then wonder goal.Looks a huge talent, getting Rooney vibes off him.

The u18s just started back up, so hopefully we see him mixed in with the group again.That first goal shows the u16 is far below his level. Needs to get games in the u18s and 21s first.

Worth remembering at the same age (u16) Rooney led Everton to the Youth cup final scoring 8 goals in the competition.
Gives MG vibes with his ability.
