GOLDEN BOY OF BANGLADESH: HAMZA CHOUDHURY😍😍😍

GOLDEN BOY OF BANGLADESH: HAMZA CHOUDHURY😍😍😍

A country ranked 185th. Where football is nearly dead. The last trophy is buried under 22 years of dust. The only appearance in the Asian Cup was 45 years ago. A mismanaged domestic league often sees fewer spectators than local neighborhood matches.

A 27-year-old man. Won the FA Cup with Leicester City in the English Premier League. Shared a dressing room with British football legend Jamie Vardy. Now on loan at Sheffield United, the highest-paid player there, earning €50,000 a week. Next season, Sheffield might be in the Premier League, and he’ll be pulling the strings in midfield.

Cinderella stories don’t happen in real life. Or maybe they do. The prince has arrived from abroad. A smile on his face. Speaks Bengali with a British accent. Soon, he will take the field for his country. A teammate of Jamie Vardy. A player who has faced Salah and De Bruyne. The most high-profile footballer in South Asian history.

At last, we found him. We finally found him.

With a smile, he says— "ইনশা আল্লাহ, আমরা win খরমু।"❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
