Buoyed by being named in the NxGN 2020, the most talked about teenage football talent in Malaysia is continuing to aim for the stars.
In 2018, the winner of the NxGn award for the best teenage player was Justin Kluivert. In 2019 it was Jadon Sancho. This year saw Real Madrid's Rodrygo picking up the gong.
It's a list of who's who in the world of football, names that almost all football fans are aware of despite their relatively young age. What is special this year was that a Malaysian appeared on that list for the very first time since it's inception back in 2017, and only one of three Asian players to make the grade.
