17 year old Sparta Rotterdam sensation Emanuel Emegha has been one of the breakaway stories of the pre season training of Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam ahead of the start of this season.
Coming of season where he scored 14 goals in 17 games for the youth team he has taken to life in the first team a lot quicker than many expected and he even started their last pre season game two days back.
The game against Waalwijk which ended in a 1-1 draw is their last test game before the start of the Dutch Eredivisie next week Friday and Emegha did his chances of getting a look in a whole lot of good .
Capped by the Netherlands once at U15 level, he has hinted at his senior international future which could become an issue in the future if he establishes himself in the first team next season.
Speaking to Oma Akatugba, Emegha picked Napoli record signing Victor Osimhen as the one player he sees as his role model not even when more established names like Robin Van Persie was suggested to him .
“ None of them is my role model. I see Osimhen as the player I want to play like. He is my role model and I hope to emulate his career to be the best I can be”, he said.
