Abdul Aziz, 14, is reportedly the most talented young soccer player Sweden has seen in recent years. The kid they call “Baby Didier Drogba” is currently with Liverpool FC on a one-week trial, according to Sky Sports.
“His arrival at Anfield represents a real coup for Liverpool as Aziz is viewed as one of the biggest talents to emerge from Sweden in a generation,” the report reads.
Aziz plays in the youth system at Swedish club ISK Norkopping. He is also a regular on Sweden’s U-15 national team.
Scouts from AC Milan, Inter Milan, Manchester United and Manchester City are also interested in the Sierra Leone-born attacker. But Liverpool might have the inside track in the race to sign Aziz.
LFC academy director Frank McParland and his staff are taking good look at the player’s ability this week.
