Interestingly, the son of a Liverpool legend is actually one of the most talented players in Manchester City’s youth program.
Throughout the years, City has been instrumental in the development of a number of the most talented players in Europe, including the likes of Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, and Michael Olise, amongst others.
At the moment, there is a single player who is beginning to attract the attention of fans all over the nation.
At the youth level, Reigan Heskey, who is 17 years old and the son of Emile Heskey, a former star player for Liverpool and England, has demonstrated some performance that is truly remarkable.
The forward has played in 31 matches across all competitions so far this season, and over that time he has scored 24 goals and assisted on seven others.
When asked about it on social media, one of the fans responded by saying, “The next generation might just be cooking.”
A different individual tweeted: “How is it that every decent footballers son makes it, whats the science behind it??”
A third supporter chimed in, saying, “He will be superior to his father.” This is a significant victory for the male parent.
There was another person who wrote, “Quick feet…reminds me of Doku.”
An additional fifth person made the following observation: “His ceiling is so high – performed better than O’Reilly when I saw him.”
“I’ve seen enough to know that he’ll make it,” said another fan. “They’ll be successful.”
In an interview with talkSPORT from the previous year, former England player Emile made the following statement about Reigan: “He’s probably a little bit more tricky than me.” Even though he is probably not as quick as I am, he will argue.
“No, actually, both of them are doing fantastic, and they are both different players. The younger one, on the other hand, is doing very well at the moment, and he is enjoying himself. Because, if I’m being completely honest, I enjoy watching them. Ever since I was a child, I have promised myself that I will only ever be a father. When it comes to anything that they are doing, I would never be the one to impose my will on them.
After being questioned about his older brother Jaden, he responded by saying, “Jaden is a forward but also plays in the midfield.”
As of right now, he is playing the eighth position, and he is doing very well in that role as well. The genuine box-to-box engine. However, he is more of a team player than a trick player. He has a little trick in him as well.
