Aldin Jakupović, a mere 17-year-old forward from Jesenice, is still awaiting the right opportunity in the senior squad of Olimpija, but judging by his performances in the under-19 team, it will come sooner or later. The talented footballer is currently in excellent form this season, scoring 13 goals in 22 matches in the youth Eon NextGen league and leading the race for the title of the most effective striker in the national championship for players under 19.
Aldin Jakupović has particularly stood out recently; not long ago, he scored 4 goals against Nafta in a match and also provided 3 assists! He can also boast of scoring seven times in his last six appearances in the Eon NextGen league.
And because good news travels far, it’s not surprising that he has already attracted attention abroad, specifically in Italy. On the Instagram profile of Diamanti Del Calcio, the young Slovenian was the subject of a lengthy post, in which he was labeled as one of the most promising strikers in the country. “Despite his youth, he has already made an impact in the Olimpija U19 team as well as in the Slovenian under-17 and under-19 national teams,” they wrote, adding: “Aldin Jakupović is definitely a talent that needs to be closely monitored on the Slovenian football scene.”
Among other things, he was praised for “his ability to finish actions, goal-scoring instincts, speed, physical strength, and great tactical intelligence.” Because of this, “he knows where to strategically position himself in the penalty area to make the most of opportunities. With his strong right foot, he also finishes actions from difficult situations, making him dangerous every time he finds himself in front of the opponent’s goal,” they added.
