Is Uche Ikpeazu the next big thing?

Reading U18 striker Uche Ikpeazu
This year in Reading FC U18's Uche Ikpeazu has bagged a remarkable 28 league goals in their very successful season, and having just won Reading FC Scholar Of The Year for the 2012-13 season the future is looking bright for the young striker. The u18's are currently sitting 2nd in the U18 Premier League sitting 3 points behind Fulham who have played a game more and sitting 1 point ahead of Man Utd who have played 2 games more, the U18s could end the season winning the League which would be seen as a huge achievement by many. the Royals are currently on a  9 game unbeaten streak beating the likes of Man Utd, Fulham, Chelsea and Everton. The 18 year old Nigerian striker has bagged an incredible 5 hat-tricks over the course of the season, one of those was against Chelsea and two against Arsenal in both fixtures in the season. Many have likened him to his idol Didier Drogba in his approach to the game, and his playing style. I would not be suprised if he is a regular starter in the next few seasons as his talent is undeniable, a natural goalscorer which is just what the first team needs! Unfortunately he hasn't been given any chance in the first team set up this year, but it will naturally take time to break into the time, i think Uche could be the missing link in a winning formula that has been clearly missing this season.
