- 15:42 UK time, Monday, 30 November 2009 Will South Africa 2010 produce a new Pele?

'nii lamptey will be the new pele'

Pelé himself paid for his transfer, and proclaimed him the "new Pelé".

But he's not the new Maradona, or the new Cryuff, or the new Pele.

He was hailed as the new Pelé and age limit rules in Belgium were changed to allow him to debut at the age of 16 for Anderlecht.

Supporters, press and club managemement refer to him as "genius-boy" and "new Pele", and demand he has some sort of special treatment from referees and adversaries.
