17-year-old Kai Lissimore at Kidderminster caught my eye recently in the FA Youth Cup with a nice assist:  He is a lad who was released by Wolves at 16 but has bounced back to win the Kidderminster U23 Player of the Year last season, earned a place in the England Colleges U19 side after coming through numerous trial stages and recently made his first team debut for Kidderminster in the National League North. One to keep an eye on. When younger he also helped his school win the Under 13 Open Playstation Schools Cup back in 2017 with a goal in the final played at Pride Park:  |

17-year-old midfielder Joe Adams has been impressing for Sholing in the Southern League and has also scored goals in Cup competitions vs Gosport Borough and Tiverton Town. Last night he also scored a couple of goals for Eastleigh in the FA Youth Cup and impressed. Worth a closer look. Goal vs Gosport  Goal vs Tiverton  |

13 goals now this season. Left foot, right foot, it doesn't matter to this lad Richard Kone. Get him in to development squad!  
Opposition manager last night:
Not been as excited about a player from that sort of level since I tipped off the club about Charlie Austin at Poole Town in the Wessex League. The kid is rapid, direct, great close control, decent in the air and can finish off either foot. The goalscoring rate of Kone compared to Austin at the same level and age in the pyramid is very similar too. Kone with 37 goals in 34 starts and Austin with 42 goals in 48 games. The potential is frightening and room for development at a professional level with day in day out coaching and guidance is immense. If I'm right in thinking he's non-contract I believe he could join us straight away and in no time at all he could be pushing for a place in the first team squad. Not being hyperbole at all when I say this kid could potentially make us some serious money in the future if developed correctly. |

17-year-old striker Jayden Wareham at Woking who scored lots of goals in their youth and development sides and made his first team debut in the National League as a 16-year-old. I'm looking forward to seeing if Wareham can make a further impact at first team level next season and would be definitely one for the club to monitor. Looked decent tonight for Chelsea  |

18-year-old 6ft 2in left back/centre back Harvey Rew at Gosport Borough is a very decent prospect. Unlucky to be released by Portsmouth in the summer. He played 3 times for them in EFL Trophy. Represented Wales at U17 level. Had trial game with West Ham u18s vs Norwich back in April. One to watch or even bring in on trial.

A lad that I've mentioned a few times before is Alfie Stanley. Another one that was unlucky to be released by Pompey in the summer, he scored 26 goals for their u18s in his final season. Now at Dorchester, he should be monitored closely or given a trial.  |

Few more lads that have been catching the eye that are worth a closer look.
Josh Stokes, 17-year-old attacking midfielder and Josh Blunkell, 18-year-old goalkeeper (both AFC Sudbury)
Tobias Braney, 17-year-old winger/striker and 19-year-old midfielder Luca Albon (Bowers & Pitsea)
10 goals in 4 games for Braney in U18s and making appearances in the first team.
Zac Willett, striker (Horndean)
15 goals in 14 games so far this season.

Odd he didn't get a deal anywhere after playing 49 games last season, has Rodman managed that in 3 seasons? |
