Newcastle United academy defender goes viral for outrageous skills as teenager already skippers country
"The skills of Newcastle United centre-back Lesecond Yeutembip have been showcased in a new viral video online. Formerly of Charlton Athletic, Yeutembip stands out in the video montage, towering over his age-mates whilst playing out from the back. In one clip, Yeutembip appears to have lost possession on a number of occasions but keeps the ball in his care utilising excellent close control, before passing to a teammate."
"The teenage defender also demonstrates his ability from dead ball situations, firing a free-kick off the upright from distance in one of Newcastle's junior matches this season. Yeutembip is an England Under-16 international and recently skippered the side during the closing stages of a 2-1 friendly win over Italy and does not celebrate his 16th birthday until New Year's Day."
"Despite that, he already stands over six feet tall and earlier this year spent time with Newcastle Under-19s at the international Dallas Cup tournament where the Young Magpies took on Sao Paulo, Tigres UANL and Lonestar ECNL. This season, Yeutembip has made an appearance for Newcastle in the U18 Premier League, coming off the bench to see out a 4-3 scoreline away at Liverpool. Last term, he made two such outings for the U18s towards the end of the campaign."
