Ruslan Mba

[ZenI]

14 years old (born February 2010), Spanish citizenship (also Equatorial Guinean, his father is from there). Left footed, but plays mainly on LW for Infantil A. I've been following him a little, very strong and fast for his age - ball is glued to his feet, turns defenders inside out. I think this little dude will go far.

Russian influence in Africa going crazy

There are some small things he needs to iron out, but he's only 14 - I do think that if he continues his trajectory he might get called up to the first team next season already - February 2026 he'll be 16. He single handedly destroys teams, watch out for him...

Oh, and he also was the main dude when we trashed Bayern 8-1 in the semis of Porsche Football cup last month - scoring a hat trick and assisting 2.

But is he better than Jordi Mboula?

Nothing is 100% - he might not become better, but probably will...

The 15 year old threshold is when to start to take notice of a youth player having shot - many, including LSW were bonafide WC at 14 but between 15 & 16 the step up became too far for many
