ACCENT! Tahith Chong will be the first player in football history to win the Ballon d’Or while playing in the championship!
Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but the young Dutchman drives Birmingham City fans crazy with his match-winning screens and he talks the whole second stage.

The word on the street is: this kid is way too good for the championship, and it’s incredibly unfair to the rest of us. The 21-year-old has never really had an insight into Manchester United, and he has bounced on a number of loans in recent years.
But Chong has finally found a loving home in the Midlands, and under the leadership of Lee Bowyer, the winger is fast becoming the most exciting player in the championship.
He recorded in the Blues’ 5-0 victory over Luton Town on Saturday afternoon, helped the second goal with a great post and provided the third with a blowing run from one end of the pitch to the other before being taken down the penalty. area.
Chong almost got on the scoreboard himself as well, hitting a nasty, sweeping shot with his left foot that Hatter’s goalkeeper Simon Sluga made brilliantly to turn away. All in all, it was a devastating image from a boy playing at a level miles below his own.
Birmingham coach Bowyer described the forward as “beautiful to look at” in his post-match interview and admitted that he too has been left “surprised” by the Man Utd borrower’s ability, according to the Birmingham Mail.
“He slips past people, not easy. It’s beautiful to see for me as a manager and for the supporters, whether he is on your team or the opposite team.
“I knew he was a good player but I have to say he surprised me.
“He wants to excite people and I just want him to score a goal because his achievements since he’s been here deserve one.”
It’s not just Bowyer who has been completely impressed by Chong’s performance so far this season. The Blues took to Twitter to pay tribute to their borrowers’ exhibitions and tipped him off about winning the most prestigious individual award in football.
I do not want to go too high .. But Tahith Chong is the greatest football player on the planet. #bcfc

I do not want this to sound like an exaggeration or anything, but has a championship player ever won a Ballon D’or or is Tahith Chong the first

Another good game from Chong, it seems that this loan has benefited him all the more. https://t.co/UrdOF7rJQh

Keep an eye on Chong for the next few months, Man Utd fans. You have a serious baller on your hands.
