AYOUB Posted February 21, 2007 Manchester City have wrapped up a deal for Fjellhamar starlet Abdisalam Ibrahim. The 15-year-old midfielder has signed a three-year deal at Eastlands and will now join City's academy as he looks to forge a career in England. A move to City represents a long standing dream for the Norwegian youth international and Ibrahim is hoping to earn a place in Stuart Pearce's first team in the coming years. "I always dreamt of playing in England," Ibrahim told Romerikes Blad. "My dream now is to play in the Premier League." After leaving Norway, Ibrahim will look to flourish in City's productive academy which has seen Micah Ricards, Ishmael Miller and, most recently, Daniel Sturridge graduate to the first team squad in the past 18 months. http://home.skysports.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaylaani Posted February 21, 2007 North, Do they get paid well in the minor league level? How is the soccer "farm" system in England? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuune Posted February 21, 2007 Good luck to him, wonderful stuff, the future looks good for Abdisalam. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted February 22, 2007 Jay, The youth players dont get paid that much. I think Abdisalam will begoing to school aswell until he is 16. Every club has a youth system. If they are good enough they will be promoted to the reservse (2nd team) then the full team. There are Somalis at many clubs at youth level. Its only a matter of time IA.
