Norwich City signed Gassan Ahadme in January.
Norwich City youngster Gassan Ahadme is beginning to make a name for himself after joining the club in January.
The 18-year-old Moroccan signed for the Canaries from Spanish side Gimnastic de Manresa.
This week he scored his first goal for the under-23s against Nottingham Forest.
This came after a minor injury delayed his start for the club.
Ahadme has big ambitions, and says he compares himself against five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
He told Norwich’s official club website: “I like the Brazilian style of play because they are skilful, but I also idolise Cristiano Ronaldo and I see my reflection in him a bit.
“He works really hard, and has made himself into the player that he is, which is why I really like him.”
Whether he has Ronaldo’s talent is unclear, but if he has the same work ethic as the Juventus ace then he could go far.
Ahadme has the chance to shine against Ronaldo’s former club Manchester United this evening in a tricky away fixture.
The youngster can take hope from the way Norwich City boss Daniel Farke gives chances to young players. While it’s unlikely he plays this season for the Canaries, he is certainly a name to watch.
