It is awesome, but he didn’t just jump on there and be that good. That’s taken a long time to get to that point. I’m sure there’s some youngsters here that could do that after practicing, and falling off a few hundred times. ?

What do we think?
Back in March, Thomson posted a tweet which set the challenge of completing one-touch volleys off of a wall, while alternating feet between each volley. This caught the attention of many people, with Rangers manager Steven Gerrard even making an attempt at completing this challenge.
With that in mind, it may be fair to say that Thomson has given high praise to the youngster in this footage by declaring that completing this challenge would be “out of (his) league”.
