Ten things to know about Bobby Adekanye, the 16-year-old winger who’s Liverpool bound

Posted by

Fun Facts:

  • Bobby has been favourably compared to Bayern Munich and Netherlands star Arjen Robben.
  • You might also notice more than a couple of similarities between him and Raheem Sterling… what a perfect replacement for the youngster, should he join Manchester City this summer.
  • He wouldn’t be the first player to walk out on Barcelona’s famous academy. It’s probably still best not to mention the Cesc Fabregas saga around anyone from the Catalan set-up.
  • We might be seeing him sooner that you might expect. Adekanye’s agent, Josep Maria Minguella Junior, said last week: “It is 95 per cent certain that Bobby is leaving for Liverpool. Ajax and PSV were also options, but ultimately the choice in this case is the Premier League; the biggest competition in the world. Liverpool’s confidence is great. If Bobby continues to develop as over the past few years, they see him as a first team player. He starts with the Under-18 team and the club have a plan that is mapped out to tutor him to get him into the first team in a few years.”
