🇳🇬 I think I’ve found the ‘Nigerian Szoboszlai.’ Meet 17-year-old Hanif Sanusi. - 23 games - 14 goals - 10 assists A midfielder who predominantly plays as a ten or as an LAM or RAM. But in my opinion he could also play as a no.8 and even as a false nine. He’s a player with an incredible right foot capable of scoring very impressive goals from long-range and set-pieces. His corner deliveries are also very good. What’s even more impressive is that he’s left foot is quite decent as well. He’s scored a fair few goals with his weaker foot - which makes him unpredictable. He’s more than just a player with very high level shooting and deliveries though. He’s a work-horse. Watch a game you will see him covering so much ground and popping up everywhere. He works tirelessly and presses really well, winning a lot of balls high up the field. His movement to find himself in those half spaces when his team are in possession is excellent. He’s comfortable receiving with his back to goal and has a strong body and balance to hold off defenders. On the ball, he will at times slot back to a deeper role to help in the build-up and look to go long, he likes to make switches and diagonal passes and often finds his teammates. But he’s best in the opposition’s half where he will look to take on opponents in tight spaces and penetrate defensive lines with an excellent pass into the opposition’s final third or penalty area. To summarise, he’s a huge goal threat, a good creator, has intelligent movement and works tremendously hard. Remember the name 💎
