17 year old wonderkid Joel Pohjanpalo (Video)

Who? I hear you ask. Well I can assure you that once you have watched the video below, you will instantly be searching for him on Football Manager and trying to snap him up on a long term deal for your team of choice.

If you are a Liverpool supporter however, you might be thinking that the name rings a bell. The young Finnish striker arrived at your club in March of this year to undergo a week-long trial with the Reds, but the two parties failed to agree a contract as the club could not guarantee the 17 year old enough playing time.

Pohjanpalo has decided to stick with the club that have given him his chance, who also happen to be his local club, HJK Helsinki.

He is hoping to continue his eye-catching start to his career, after scoring a perfect hat trick in his sides' opening fixture of the season, which contributed to the youngster's 14 goals in 33 games in the premier division of Finland; Veikkausliiga.

The Finland under-21 player currently has 3 years left on his contract but I am certain it won’t take that long before we see him scoring goals at a higher level.

HJK are the most successful club in Finland, winning 24 Championships in their history.
