13-Year-Old Milan Youth Striker Has Unreal Record Of 483 goals In 87 Games

A 13-year-old AC Milan forward has one of the most extraordinary goalscoring records you are likely to see in any academy, having reportedly scored 483 goals in 87 games for the club's various youth sides.

Francesco Camarda isn't the first youth standout we've seen in recent times.

Just last year, we first heard of Youssoufa Moukoko's remarkable record for Dortmund - before the winger went on to become the German club's youngest ever goalscorer.

However, Camarda's own record is impossible to ignore from a strictly statistical perspective.

A tweet by noted football scout Sciabolata Morbida gained traction on social media yesterday after the Italian shared details of the 13-year-old's exploits while playing for Milan.

According to Morbida, Camarda scored 247 goals in 40 games in 2017-18, 172 goals in 31 games in 2018-19 and 64 goals in 16 games in 2019-20 for a total of 483 goals in 87 games - at an average of 5.5 goals per game.

It should be noted that the standard of opponent will have varied greatly in these 87 appearances, with many of them not being full 11 v 11 games.

However, Camarda has already been fast-tracked to Under 15 level, where he plays alongside Clarence Seedorf's son, Denzel Miguel Viana Seedorf in the Milan youth side.

Camarda has starred in this year's U15 National A/B Championship, despite being against boys who are much more physically developed than himself.

Just last weekend, the striker scored a brace as Milan saw off Hellas Verona in the U15 Championship - showcasing his immense potential once again.

While scout Mordiba urges caution over the young player's record, noting former Barcelona standout Bojan as a cautionary tale, he does still claim: "I don't know how many boys, at his age, had put together such impressive numbers."

With that in mind, it's certainly worth remembering the name Francesco Camarda.
