He represented 18 athletes on the playlist and, of the 18, only one did not go through club formation.… Some are older than others, but they have all gone through the ranks of youth. The only exception was Romanian George Puskash25 years old, who came to Reading from Inter Milan.

Among 17 young people in the house there were Mamadi Kaba Kamarawho was the owner. The 17-year-old midfielder, native of Guinea-Bissau, is a Portuguese national who left Feirense’s youth last year to join Reading.
