Scouts flock to watch teenage midfielder in cup tie 2

When a teenager starts dictating tempo against senior professionals, people notice—and on Friday, the notice board filled fast. Scouts from domestic and overseas clubs were spotted along the touchline as the midfielder repeatedly broke pressure with simple, well-timed passes that advanced play without fuss.

Sources caution that interest remains exploratory, but the pattern is familiar: a standout cup run can accelerate timelines as sporting directors race to firm up summer shortlists.
