I've been following this kid for a little while, apparently his is a very tricky striker with some pace. I personally think he should be in the national junior setup, he's only 17 but we should get him while england still think of him as a club prospect.

Former QPR trainee Ricky Sappleton has joined Middlesbrough on a two-week trial with several other clubs also tracking the youngster.
The 17-year-old striker was released by Rangers earlier this season despite being a prolific scorer in their youth system.
The Jamaican has also trained with Liverpool, but has joined Gareth Southgate's club, who are keen to have a closer look at the teenager over the next fortnight.
Sappleton will train at Boro's highly acclaimed academy at their Rockcliffe Park training base.
