Felix Afena Gyan �� - 18-year-old Felix burst onto the scene by scoring a brace off the bench in As Roma's November away victory to Genoa. Still playing school football in early 2020, Felix is destined for big things & has rejected the opportunity to represent the Black Stars in the 2022 Afcon in order to focus on his development under the legendary Jose Mourinho.


Lassina Traore �� - 20-year-old Shakhtar Donetsk goal-getter Traore is currently sidelined with a knee injury. Having scored 6 goals in 7 league appearances this season, Lassina has overcome many challenges already in his life & the Ajax youth product has the right mentally to bounce back from the injury challenge he is currently facing.


Akinkunmi Amoo �� - Nicknamed the “Nigerian Messi”, 19-year-old Akinkunmi is tearing up the Swedish league, having made 14 goal contributions in 29 games. A Super Eagles AFCON call-up was mooted, but the Hammarby star didn’t make the cut. However, a call-up can’t be far in the offing if he maintains his current form.


Raphael Onyedika �� - The 20-year-old’s impressive performances for FC Midtjylland saw him win the player award for October in the Danish Super League. The midfield stalwart is a regular for his side & turns out for them in the Europa League. His contributions have seen his team sitting pretty at the top of the league table after 17 matches played.


Kamaldeen Sulemana �� - A product of one of the most notable football institutions in Africa, Right 2 Dream FC, the 19-year-old’s, journey via FC Nordsjaelland has led him to Ligue 1 where he turns out for Stade Rennais FC. Kamaldeen has this season chipped in with 4 goals & 2 assists for his team. He’ll be looking to show the world what he’s made of as he represents Ghana at AFCON 2022


Ahmed Badmus �� - Currently topping the leaderboard in @ballershowcase ‘s inaugural season of African Football Wonderkids Challenge #AFWC, the 15-year-old midfielder was named Ambassadorr Player of the Year (U16). We can’t wait to see how he continues to develop in the coming years. Catch him on the Baller Showcase TV YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhqZmiPeeMIyZit4l8Mqct6YI2u3YDeRk


Wilfried Singo �� - 21-year-old Ivory Coast international right-back, Wilfried is one of the first names on the list for Serie A side FC Torino. Noted for his strength, pace, & technique, he’s been linked to a move to Europe’s top sides. The sky is merely the beginning for this lad.


Sinaly Diomandé �� - Having turned out 7 times for his national team already, the 20-year-old central defender has not played since November 21 due to injury. He has therefore not been called up to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations with Côte d'Ivoire. Diomande will be looking to recover from injury soon & force his way back into the Olympique Lyonnais lineup


Odilon Koussounou �� - Bayer Leverkusen paid a Belgian record $33 million to sign defender Odilon Kossounou in the summer, showing how highly rated he is. The 20-year-old central defender has turned out regularly for Bayer in the Bundesliga as well as in the Europa League. Turning out for Les Éléphants in Afcon 2022, he will be looking to provide a solid base for his teammates to build on in their quest to go all the way.


Ahmed Ankrah �� - A defensive midfielder who can do a stint in central defense when needed, the Parma Primavera captain features for us at left-back. The 19-year-old was Voted as the best player in this year's Vignola Youth pre-season tournament, and his impressive displays at youth level have recently been rewarded with a first-team call-up for Parma's senior side.


Dennis Sunday �� - Manning the goals for us is Dennis Sunday of FC Ablaze, Lagos. Hailing from Benue state, the former Golden Boiz FA shot-stopper recently earned a scholarship from Segun Odegbami Soccer School. He has overcome a lot of challenges so far to get to where he is & we look forward to watching his progress in the coming years.
