Zimbabwean-linked Teen At Wolves Named As One Of Brightest Young Talents In EPL
Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Leon Chiwome has been named as one of the brightest young talents in the English Premier League, Birmingham Live reports.
According to The Guardian, the 16-year-old striker is one of the young talents to watch out for.
Chiwome joins Owen Farmer (2021), Kamran Kandola (2020), Chem Campbell (2019) and Jackson Smith (2018) in making the prestigious list since Wolves returned to the top flight three years ago.
Chiwome, the son of a Zimbabwean father and a British mother, was born in Brighton and only joined Wolves from AFC Wimbledon in the summer.
Leon was only with Wimbledon for about six months after impressing whilst playing for the Sussex Schools FA team.

Wolves’ academy manager Jonathan Hunter-Barrett told The Guardian:
What we saw in him was an excellent profile for a centre-forward who is big, strong and quick. He’s very keen to learn and get on the ball, and he knows where the back of the net is.
Chiwome has scored twice in his first three outings for Wolves’ under-18s.
Chiwome competed in athletics during his school days, often racing over the sprint distances, while he also tried his hand at the long jump. He will be hoping to make the jump into Wolves’ under-21s on a permanent basis before too long.
