Sporting Lagos Academy star Babatunde Akomolede has garnered significant media attention for his outstanding performance in Sweden.

The 17-year-old was instrumental in his team's success at the Gothia Cup, where they emerged victorious after defeating Tokyo FC in the final.

Akomolede's exceptional throw-in skills caught the attention of fans and scouts alike, earning him the Gothia Puma branded MVP award.

His impressive throws played a crucial role in the semifinal win over local rivals Beyond Limits, assisting three goals in his side's 5-4 victory.

The teenager's skills have drawn comparisons to former Stoke City player Rory Delap who was renowned for his precise and impactful throw-ins.

Delap's throws were considered legendary, having the same impact as corner kicks and free kicks during his time with Stoke City.
