I think I remember watching him an a Youth Cup game - played well, ISTR. Hector Bellerin may have been in that team too, and he turned out to be a leading fashion model.

Interesting Wikipedia entry

“On 30 May 2019, much to the surprise of AWIMB, Yennaris made history by becoming the first ever naturalised player to be called up by China and he made his debut with a start in a 2–0 friendly victory over the Philippines on 7 June 2019.[68][69]”

Tenacious would be the word to describe him. He was Nicosia's favourite played :cry:
