I actually first heard of this boy this season..i havent watched him much but i watched his game against juve in the ucl semis and i was disgusted at how much praise was heaped on him and how much he was hyped pre match and i decided to look into it…..
Well… exactly 3 days older than him although am still looking for my first cap for any professional team…
Anyway i watched his earlier ucl games and his ligue 1 games and the thing that struck me was CONFIDENCE…..at his age?..i mean, i dont expect someone of that age to demand the ball to be played to his feet so often…..his style is similar to the great thierry henry…am sure that is what attracted wenger to this young boy…his speed,ability to dribble,agility,mental sharpness…puts him a foot above his age grade…I can only pray that he makes his decision on where to move next with great caution as that will determine if he ll live up to the Henry-like potential within
With 15 goals and 8 assists in 29 games,if you are still not satisfied just ask spurs
MY CONCLUSION: definitely NOT overated
What is yours????
