Head coach of the U15 team of Nigeria Patrick Bassey have a gem in Abubakar Abdulrazak of foremost Nigerian football academy Simoiben Football Academy of Kaduna State, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Razak like he is called by his friends and teammates arrived in Abuja for the final phase of camping with the U15 team of Nigeria ahead of a two legged friendly game against Morocco.
He is expected to play a leading role for the Nigerian team, with many tipping him to be the undisputed star of the team owing to his exposure at such a young age. He is already training with the main team of the Kaduna based academy since he was 12.
Blessed with a sweet left foot and close dribbling skills, he has been rated as possibly the next big thing to emerge from Nigeria. A right winger but he is also comfortable playing through the middle due to his very good ball striking technique and ability.
Like Benjamin Fredrick of English Premier League side Brentford and Emmanuel Michael of Austrian side LASK Razak won’t be short of guidance in his career with Nigeria international winger Moses Simon, whose wife owns the football academy where Razak was picked from readily available to guide him.
If nurtured properly he could be Nigeria’s version of Spanish sensational teen Lamine Yamal who at 17 is already seen as one of the best players for his club Barcelona and also the senior national team of Spain.
