I know this might sound too optimistic but we all know it is possible for these kids to follow in their father’s footsteps and become super stars in football. The opposite is possible too because a name alone can never propel you to the top.

A good example is Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff son Jordi Cruyff who never really made it in football like his father. Manchester United Peter Schmeichel was so successful in his time at Old Trafford and his son Kasper Schmeichel is doing great too. He helped Leicester City win English Premier League in 2015/16 season. He still has time as a goalkeeper and given his latest show at King Power, he might come close to his father level one day.

Now let us look at current and former footballers and their son;

7. Rooney son Kai

Manchester United and England Captain Wayne Rooney son Kai has already shown signs of star stardom in his DNA. His frame is just like his father. At the end of every season players come with their families and Kai is quick to grab the opportunity to show the whole world what he can do just like his father was those Old days at Everton and when he first signed for United. In few years you might have to put up with another fierce Rooney on your screen.

6. Beckham son Brooklyn

At only 15, Brooklyn was already a star in the making at Arsenal Academy in London. He is said to be even more talented than his father but again only time can tell. The former Manchester United winger was a specialist in free kicks and if his son gets a drop of that, he will be a World beater like his father. Let’s wait and see what comes out of the Royal son.

5. Van Persie son Shaqueel

If you can recall the young Van Persie joining Arsenal from Fayenoord, then you can paint an image of Shaqueel Van Persie. He plays with his left foot and he can take a number of players just like his father in those days when he played as a winger. He moved with his father from Manchester United academy to Fenerbahçe academy to continue his development. We will wait keenly to see if we will see another flying goal in the next few years.

4. Ronaldo son Ronaldo Jr.

Not much has been seen from Ronaldo Junior the son of three time World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo but what is for sure is that he is learning a lot from his father. He is reportedly the king in his school football team already but until we see it, we just have to be patient. The DVD’s available for him to watch will be countless. Let’s hope one day he will mesmerize our hearts just like his Real Madrid father.
