WHO IS LEO MESSO? THE NEW FOOTBALL MONSTER FROM KENYA! NEW AFRICAN MESSI

Arsenal have signed Leo Messi! Hmm, sorry, something is definitely not right here... No, you heard it right, that transfer really took place. Although, the Gunners signed not Leo Messi, but Leo Messo ... This 10-year-old Kenyan will obviously make us all admire his performances, as his name is really telling!

Today we will tell you what impressed everyone with Leo Messo in addition to his cool name, and we are also to mention three more boys who are already being called candidates to replace the great Argentine!

Leo Messo was born in the UK, but has Kenyan roots. His father Benson is from the Siaya region of Kenya, but has long lived with his family in London. There’s no need to argue - the father clearly named the boy in honor of Lionel Messi, although the press claims the opposite. Messo’s dad played rugby for a long time, so the talent for sports could be passed on to his son!

At the age of five, the kid got into the “Finesse Sport” football school, but he trained not only there. For some time he was involved in two more teams - West Ham and Chelsea, and then Arsenal drew attention to him. All the clubs appreciated the way Messo played, but no one offered him a contract. However, “Arsenal” was the club to break the silence - now they can raise a new football star in their academy!

According to the coaches of Leo Messo, he is not rigidly tied to the position yet. Among his strengths is good left-footed play, although his right-foot is also fine. The guy is rated as a technical and tenacious player who can perform on the left, right and in the center. At the same time, Leo is a very well-mannered and humble kid who fights for the team with a Lion's heart.

So far, no pressure has been put on the youngster, but after the news that has spread all over the world, Leo will have to be protected from the pressure of the press. Messo doesn’t even have an Instagram account yet, and we hope it will not be created in the near future, so that the boy would be focused only on football and improving his skills.

The head coach of the Arsenal academy and former club legend Per Mertesacker insisted on signing a contract with the boy. Many believe that so much bustle about Messo's signing was only because of his name and this is what the club fell for, but Leo's managers don’t think of it much. “It's all because of his talent. He wouldn't have been signed if he hadn't been good enough, ”said the Finesse Sport school.

In the new team, Leo Messo will wear the ninth number. Not so canonical, because Messi has a ten on his back, and before that he wore numbers 19 and 30 in Barcelona. But let's hope that this will not prevent Messo from showing his potential in the team. Who knows, maybe in the future Barça will also go hunting for the kid if he reveals himself at high level.

After officially entering the Arsenal academy, the coaches told Messo: you need to walk your path step by step, accept every day the way it goes, work hard and try to be the best. If something doesn't work out at the Gunners' academy, there is always a chance to play football and develop yourself somewhere else. You just need to make use of your mistakes and become stronger, as the main sign of a good player is the ability to come back from nowhere. Good instruction?

Will Arsenal manage to raise a new Leo Messi? Who knows, this guy has every chance to succeed. The most important thing now is not to put pressure on him and let him progress further on.
