NEW ZIDANE IS 6 YEARS OLD…MORE SKILLS THAN RONALDO, MESSI, RONALDINHO, PUT TOGETHER
WITH his tricky step-overs, daring flicks and jinking runs, his style is reminiscent of the legendary Zinedine Zidane.
But footie phenomenon Madin Mohammed is just six years old.
The starlet has sparked the interest of football scouts around the world, with Chelsea and Real Madrid among clubs said to be keeping tabs on his progress.
You can judge for yourself how hot a prospect he is by checking out his repertoire of skills in the video above.
Madin’s family moved to France from Algeria when he was three and the French football association have already signed him up on a scholarship.

Legend ... Zinedine Zidane |
Christian Lazaoui, president of Roubaix, Madin’s local club, says: “He has an amazing talent. He plays every day and has a great passion for football.
“He can cross the ball, control it, swerve, pass between the legs — he is spectacular with the ball... he really is magic with it.”
A compilation video of his skills has already been viewed far more than a million times online at YouTube.
A fan on the site has already pointed out one of the obvious problems with Madin’s mesmerising skills, saying: “He is amazing — but I’ve a horrible feeling that he will be coming back to haunt England in about 15 years.”
The fascinating five-minute clip features the young lad waltzing past players, performing nutmegs (beating a man by slipping the ball through his legs) and even catching the ball on the back of his neck.
It has been shown on French national television where an awestruck presenter commented: “Amazingly, he is only six years old but he has a complete arsenal of skills.”
Wonderkid
The excitement over the little lad’s sublime talent comes just 18 months after nine-year-old “veteran” wonderkid Rhain Davis was signed by Manchester United after they had been shown YouTube footage shot by a member of his family.
At the time the British-born youngster was playing for Redlands United in Brisbane, Australia.
Despite being born in Algeria, Madin will be eligible to play for France but, unlike ZZ, there is hopefully one skill Madin will fail to master.
After all, we don’t need to see any more people getting sent off in a World Cup Final for butting an opponent.
