Scout Report – Recoe Martin, Newcastle and Southampton chasing this wonder kid
According to a report in Mirror, Premier League duo Southampton and Newcastle United are chasing the MK Dons wonder kid Recoe Martin, who is dubbed as the “new Dele Alli.”
Championship hopefuls Norwich City are also keeping close tabs on the player, who is playing well in the youth level of the League Two side. (h/t Mirror)
MK Dons have gained a reputation of producing incredible talents. They have already produced in the name of Dele Alli, who is now a star for Tottenham Hotspur and for the England national team.
Playing for the U18s now, Martin is yet to sign a professional contract with the club, hence, he could sign for any other club on a compensation package, making him a more attractive prospect. (h/t Mirror)
Without further ado, let’s take a look about the player, his playing style and much more in a scout report:
Scout Report – Recoe Martin
Recoe Martin plays for the MK Dons Under-18s and operates mainly as a striker. He is predominantly left-footed, but defenders wouldn’t want to take a risk when the ball is on the other foot as well.
The 18-year-old can play on either wing, preferably on the right, because he can then cut inside to unleash a shot towards goal, allowing the fullback to overlap.
The teenager possesses the pace and all the trickery to be a fine player for the senior team. He can also operate as a support striker, just like Dele Alli, who he is associated with these days.
Martin gained surreal attention when he scored five in a game for the Mk Dons’ under-18s, helping the team to come back from 0-2 down and beat Leyton Orient 5-2 last week. (h/t Mirror)
That game showed that the striker is lethal in front of goal and he understands when to make the right runs to become available in space and have a chance of scoring goals.
