Kareem Ahmed (Arabic: كريم أحمد سامح; born 17 February 2007) is a footballer who plays as a midfielder or forward for Liverpool-U18 team.
Club career
Born in England to Egyptian parents, Ahmed's performances for a local amateur side caught the attention of Premier League sides Everton, Manchester City and Liverpool.[citation needed] He accepted an offer from the latter, stating that his decision was influenced by the fact that his idol, Mohamed Salah, played for Liverpool.[citation needed]
He joined Liverpool's academy, and would mark his debut for the under-18 team with a goal against Bournemouth in the FA Youth Cup - bundling the ball into the net after teammate Wellity Lucky's header was initially saved.[2][3]
International career
In February 2022, Ahmed was called up to training camps with the Egyptian youth team.[4]
