The youngster clocked 15 in February and he is already doing exploits for English U-16 club side Watford FC.

Reports claim the teenage sensation has been impressive for the hornets cadet team, although, yet to be invited to the club's first team.

The 15-year-old teenage sensation has been likened to his father but could rise to the level of Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo if he continues with his development.

Though much of Sean Nwankwo has not been heard, he is expected to break into the limelight in the nearest future and could also play for the national team.

The former attacker popularly referred to as 'Papilo' won a total of 13 major titles - including one Champions League title.

He was also part of the famous Arsenal invincible team that won the Premier League without losing a single game in 2004.
