14 years of age. Already playing for Scotland's u21 team.
Banging in the goals for Celtic's reserves.
[sup]Celtic's Somalia-born youngster Islam Feruz showed his class with a virtuoso performance and goal in Scotland U16's 1-0 win over Wales.
Celtic's Somali-born wonderkid Islam Feruz got the only goal of the game for Scotland U16's on Thursday night, turning in a star performance in a 1-0 win over Wales in the Victory Shield.
Feruz, 14, is eligible for Scotland under new Fifa rules allowing a player to turn out for a country where they have been schooled for five years or more, looked a cut above his team mates and opponents, demonstrating the clever footwork and dogged attitude that has put him in such high regard at club and international level.
The youngster got his goal with just nine minutes on the clock with an impressive finish past Wales 'keeper Christian Dibble - son of former Rangers goalie Andy. Charging down an attempted clearance by a Wales midfielder, then capitalising on a slip by the defender who was next in line, Feruz powered through on goal to be met by the onrushing Dibble.

I can imagine the big boys coming in for him in 2 years time if not sooner.
