And we have a rising football star!

Irfan Fandi (in yellow), son of local football legend Fandi Ahmad, was named by The Guardian (the UK paper, not the pharmacy) as one of the 40 top young talents in world football yesterday (Oct. 14, 2014).

Some achievement he scored there, considering the 17-year-old was mentioned among a "Serbian Falcao" and others who attracted the scouts of many European football clubs. (Note: Falcao is no falcon. Falcao is a striker and plays for Manchester United)

Described as possessing a good first touch, the 1.86m Singaporean striker is tipped to "terrorise defenders back in Asia".

Check out a 13-year-old Irfan terrorising defenders here:

According to Channel News Asia:

Irfan and his brother Ikhsan are both currently training in Chile with Universidad de Catolica, a club in the top tier of the Chilean league.

Hang on, there's still Ikhsan Fandi.

What if The Guardian picks Ikhsan Fandi, 15, a couple of years later? Here's a probable headline: Ikhsan Fandi is the next Irfan Fandi since Irfan Fandi was named as the next Fandi Ahmad.

Wait a minute. There's still 11-year-old Ilhan Fandi, the youngest son.

Well, it will be a hat trick that daddy will be very proud of.
