Idris Kanu is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on December 5, 1999 in England, United Kingdom.
On 7 October 2016, National League side Aldershot Town completed the signing of Kanu on an amateur contract after he had impressed during training sessions with the club. Upon signing, he was reunited with James Rowe, the club’s assistant manager who he had previously worked with at West Ham. He made his debut the following day, coming on as a late substitute for Bernard Mensah in a 2–0 win over Solihull Moors at the Recreation Ground. In doing so, at the age of 16 years and 308 days, Kanu became the youngest player ever to feature for the “Shots” in a league match. He scored his first professional goal in the following match, netting in a 2–1 FA Cup defeat at home to Eastbourne Borough. Kanu’s first league goal came on 12 November when he scored the opening goal in a 3–3 draw at Lincoln City. Upon scoring, Kanu broke another record by becoming the club’s youngest ever goalscorer in league competition, aged 16 years and 343 days. On 5 December, he signed his first professional contract with the club on his 17th birthday, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal. He received his first ever red card the following year, when he was dismissed for two bookable offences in a 1–0 win over Dover Athletic on 17 April. Kanu ultimately scored five goals in 33 appearances across all competitions as Gary Waddock’s side fell just short of promotion at the end of the 2016–17 season, losing out to Tranmere Rovers in the play-off semi-finals.
Kanu was recruited into the West Ham United academy at the age of 11 after impressing in a trial game for Barking and Dagenham district. He appeared for the “Hammers” Under-21 team at the age of 15. In September 2016, following his release from West Ham, he underwent a trial with Manchester United’s Under-18 side and scored twice in a match against Middlesbrough. A permanent move failed to materialize, however, and Kanu later revealed he rejected an offer from the Premier League club in order to play senior football regularly.
