A Closer Look At The 14-Year-Old Who Is Wanted By Barcelona And Manchester City

Every child dreams of becoming a footballer, but the narrow chances of someone actually making it to the professional game brings heart ache for many. So while the rest of us settle for eating Wotsits and having a quiet game of Fifa, those who are blessed with the talent continue chasing their dream. This kid , however, doesn't need to chase anything, as he has both Manchester City and Barcelona fighting over him.

 Poor thing, it must be hard.

The Daily Mail are reporting that the duo are going to loggerheads over 14-year-old starlet Brahim, who is currently on the books at Malaga.

Although it's difficult to know an awful lot about someone so young, there seem to be a lot of people who have watched him thoroughly over the last year and are mightily impressed.

The teenage refuses to let his size hinder him, in fact he uses it to his advantage. His low central of gravity gives him almost a Messi-like ability to weave in and out of defenders and dazzle the parents with his tricks.

You can see by the clip just how composed he is. Despite the ball being almost as big as he is, he shows a range of different techniques to beat his opponent between the sticks.

To tempt him to Camp Nou, it is suggested that the La Liga club introduced him to the likes of Xavi and Messi to try and twist his arm, but City are hoping Manuel Pellegrini can work his magic with his old club.

Who will get their mitts on this wonderkid?
