mate he's 11. let him be a kid before putting all this pressure on him. seen too many burn out before 18.
nah but at 11 you're barely even developed. let him enjoy it, the pressure will come later.
this kid is gonna be a legend! good on him for chasing his dreams, hope he makes it big 🤙
as someone who works in football development, these deals often end badly. parents chasing money, kids losing childhood. hope this one's different but seen it before.
Paris FC, not even PSG? seems like a marketing stunt tbh
yeah true but Paris FC is a solid club for development. not everything has to be PSG.

wtf is that quote in the headline bro? 'not all Polynesians can do what I can'... who wrote that, the kid or a journalist? bit arrogant but hey, confidence is key i guess
facts. and the quote sounds like something the journalist wrote not the kid lol
so proud to see Samoan talent get recognised! islander power 💪
FFS another one leaving the islands for overseas. our talent always gets poached and we get nothing back. when will we start paying our own coaches properly?
bless him, 11 years old and already making headlines. hope his family stays grounded and supports him no matter what.
the hate in these comments is unreal. kid's just living his dream, why can't we just be happy for him?
exactly, some people just love to tear others down. good for him.
