The Glasgow Rangers winger has the ability to excel at Ibrox over the next few years.
Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha has wasted little time giving youth a chance since his arrival at Ibrox, so what chance another teenage prospect getting his senior debut ahead of a vital pre-season campaign?
Serge Atakayi has been in impressive form for the Gers’ under-20 side and, with little left to play for once the league game against Celtic is out of the way, it may be wise to blood him now and hope he kicks on as the likes of Myles Beerman and David Bates have before him.
While Caixinha will go strong for the game against fierce rivals Celtic this weekend, he can use the upcoming matches against Partick Thistle, Hearts, Aberdeen and St Johnstone to experiment, giving some more youngsters a chance to prove they should feature in his plans for his first full year at the helm.
The Rangers winger has the skill set to excite the Ibrox faithful and there would be little pressure on him to perform consistently if given a few minutes in the last few matches of the campaign.
Instead Caixinha could use the time to get him used to Scottish football and the atmosphere, encouraging him to play his own game and not worry about any mistakes that come as a result.
It could be the start of something great fort Rangers’ 18-year-old; the manager just needs to show some faith, which he appears to have in abundance.
