January 19th, 2021
Roc Nation, Jaz Z's New York-based communications agency, has released the 'Class of 2021', the list of young talent who, from 2021, will join the team of professionals managed by the agency. They are under-20 footballers with almost no experience in the contract and who, soon, could be the protagonists of negotiations with important figures. For this reason, Roc Nation has invested in them by taking care of their image and working as a management for their performance. Along with champions such as Lukaku and Rashford, these talents will be managed directly from New York.
The players who will be part of the Class of 2021 are Billy Gee (Chelsea FC, England Under-16s), Ilyes Zouaoui (Olympique de Marseille), Jadan Raymond (Crystal Palace FC, England Under-18s), Bradley Ibrahim (Arsenal FC, England Under-17s), Aylan Benyahia (Olympique de Marseille, France Under-16s), Finlay Corrigan (Ipswich Town, Wales Under-16s), Noham Abdellaoui (St Etienne, Algeria Under-17s), Alfie McNally (Fulham FC) and Albie Armin (Ipswich Town). They are some of the best talents currently engaged in the youth teams of big teams, such as Chelsea or OM. In 2020, in addition to the large commercial expansions and partnerships announced with Milan and Leeds, Roc Nation had also been attentive to the acquisition of the management of young Tyreece John-Jules and Nathan Ferguson.
