Imoh Ezekiel

Club: Al-Arabi Sports Club

Position: ST

Age: 20

Nationality: Nigerian

Clubs to show interest: Lille, Tottenham, Monaco, Fiorentina and West Brom

Imoh Ezekiel could be described as one of many potential FM 2015 wonderkids. A complete forward, like his old teammate Batshuayi, the forward posses’ ability in the air, good strength and is somewhat of a speed merchant to boot. Imoh is one of the potential FM 2015 wonderkids rated at ‘-8’ potential in the current game, reasonable but not the most attractive stats for talent hunters. However, I’d expect an increase for FM 2015, Ezekiel scored 12 and setup 10 in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League during 2013/14.

Ezekiel joined Standard Liege in 2012, following two very impressive seasons he attracted interest from all over the globe. However, in a shock deal Al-Arabi Sports Club paid around $10.8 million and completed the deal in time for 2014/15 and the release of Football Manager 2015. The Nigerian reminds me of Tevez, strong, dynamic and very hard working. The assist and goal rate I mentioned earlier shows he can not only run the line but play in his teammates. Ezekiel is also quite skillful and posses’ great dribbling skills.

What should we expect from this FM 2015 wonderkid? Clearly a striker, I’d expect a number of roles to suit including complete forward, advanced forward and poacher. Finishing should be reasonable with composure around the same, but I’d expect Ezekiel to excel in dribbling, flair and acceleration. Heading should be reasonable even though his jumping reach may not be great, but I’d also award a high attribute for strength. Essentially, Ezekiel could be your all round striker and more than capable of playing the lone man.
