"He is absolutely the future!" stated Mr Thomas to The Nutmeg News. "I've never seen him play and don't know anything about him at all but I predict that he is the next Darlington Nagbe or Christian Pulisic."

Reportedly, Mr Thomas is already planning a campaign of hyping up the youngsters talents and has started shopping for his kit to add to his collection of future international stars which includes his Bolton kit for Stuart Holden, his Freddy Adu Benfica kit, and his Landon Donovan Bayer Leverkusen throwback.

"I can't wait to see him holding the World Cup up in 2018. This is going to be great," proclaimed Thomas on Facebook.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Thomas forgets he made this purchase and wonders who the hell ordered a Kiesewetter Dusseldorf kit.
