Pint-sized prodigy leaves rivals in awe

Football prodigies are like Lionel Messi goals – a seemingly endless supply of highlights reels.

But this youngster could just be the pick of the production line with a range of skills to make even the Argentinean maestro envious.

Footage has emerged online of the pint-seized wizard dazzling rivals with his brilliant ball control and magic footwork with over 9.8 million views.

The pre-teen hails from the US, but little is known about the boy other than the fact he has a penchant for embarrassing rivals with his mesmerising skills – be it on the football field or playing futball.

And no trick appears beyond the boy.

Check out his rainbow flick to bamboozle defenders before volleying home a goal or his cheeky rabona kick.

The kid has sure got class, but no doubt his showboating also makes him a target on the field.

Either way US football administrators will be hoping he stays on track to give them a bona fide star in the future while talent scouts are sure to be hovering over the next five years or so.
