A Closer Look At Manchester United And Chelsea's EIGHT-Year-Old Target Dubbed 'The Next Messi'

When I was eight years old, football was about the entire team rushing to the ball in order to get a touch to impress the proud parents on the touchline.

Henry was the player that played beyond him with Dennis instigating most attacks. However, these 'number 10's' could also play as the main striker if needs be. In this day and age, the 'number 10' role is often played by the attacking midfielder. So a few current examples are Mesut Ozil, Juan Mata and David Silva. They will still instigate most attacks but will not be a replacement striker.
