Description:

Luzayadio Bangu joined Fiorentina’s youth academy in 2012, coming from Atalanta Bergamo. This season, despite his young age, he became a leader and the best “Viola” player in Campionato Primavera. He led his team to the final of the Coppa Primavera, in which he scored 2 goals. Despite that, Fiorentina lost to Lazio 2-4. Luzayadio is a very mature and versatile player for his age (16 years old) and playing with players who are 3 or 4 year older does not phase him. The media already compare him to players like Ruud Guilit, Andres Iniesta or Marek Hamsik. A few big clubs, including Manchester United, are interested in him, but it looks like Fiorentina will do everything they can to stop its pearl.

 

Quotes:

“The Congolese prospect has been described as the ‘new Ruud Gullit’ in some quarters and admits he’s been inspired by Andres Iniesta.”
