Arling Holland, Jamal Musiale, Rodrigo, Jude Bellingham – these are just some of the names that appeared in the ranking of the most promising young players on the UEFA website in recent years. In the list published today (Sunday), with the beginning of 2023, there is an Israeli representative – Liel Abde.
“He is a fine morale and a self-confident finisher,” wrote about the Celtic striker. “He was already chosen as the young player of the season in Scotland, in his first season after the move from Maccabi Petah Tikva. In the meantime, he scored a double-digit amount of goals this season, for Celtic and the Israel national team.”
Abda, who provided ten league goals and seven assists last year, in his debut season at Celtic, has four goals and four assists in the Scottish league this season. His excellent ability brought with it reports of a possible move to the Premier League.
