Arat Hosseini @ Liverpool FC Academy

[mahestan]

Arat getting attention from ESPN FC!!!

His ball control is very impressive for his age.

Funniest circus shit I ever did see. He needs to get the hell out this country if he has any hope of making it professional, that fancy shit will lead to him having his knees broken into pieces once he progresses a few age groups

Whilst the opposition players parents shout at him to ‘eff off back home’

[PrinceAli]

He should go to La Masia. Best place for him to continue his growth trajectory

Couple of local news articles from Liverpool Echo on him

No idea which academy that ESPN video is filmed at but Echo stating it isn’t Liverpool.

I dont even think liverpool has age group for him yet, but he is indeed playing in the area.

[PEJ]

Liverpool does not allow cameras to their training, hence we never see his videos in Liverpool kits. I am pretty sure he guest plays with other clubs.

Liverpool is under strict youth transfer ban along with man city and some other clubs due to getting players from other countries at a young age.
But I know some clubs are going around these bans by just getting the players into the country, having an unofficial contract (commitment to join the club), getting them to play for a grassroots or private academy and just wait for the player to either become a British citizen or pass a certain age to then sign them officially. Man city was planning to do this with the academy I was working with a few years ago and it was their way of getting around the embargo, and they had a lot of foreign kids on their list especially with the number of foreign clubs part of their city group.

I suspect that Liverpool are doing something similar here with Arat.

La Masia is nowhere near what it once used to be.

La Masia is nowhere near what it once used to be.

Haven’t they recently produced talents like Fati, Kubo, and Xavi Simons?

They certainly had a hand, but the perception seems to be that it isn't what it used to be.
Long read if you're interested:

Fking Redunkelous that..!
I don’t give a fk how old & against whom he’s pulling this shitt, check out just How Close to his feet he keeps the ball all throughout his run & dribbles & step overs to get by markers ..! Wow 🤩 toopo mizareh too joorabesh aslan
Barring some bizarre football unrelated events he’s gonna become mad footballing talent at his current trajectory..!

[Taz]

I'd say the odds are firmly against him becoming a professional footballer at a serious level. He's way too for that kind of assessment.

Lol. This has to be a joke. The kid plays for Liverpool academy, is oozing with talent and has a drive 2nd to none and you say odds are firmly against him?? So basically you're saying that majority of professional players today, were in a better situation at Arats age??

[PrinceAli]

Is anybody else concerned about him getting citizenship in the UK and having grown up there since such a young age? I hope he doesn’t grow apart from his Iranian roots and commit to play for England if he becomes a star
