"Football isn't just a game"—it's life.

For 16-year-old David Jones, football is more than a sport; it's an escape, a calling, and the only thing that makes sense in a world full of challenges. The electric thrill of scoring a last-minute winner, the roar of the crowd—it’s the closest thing to freedom he knows.

But David's journey is far from simple. Blessed with extraordinary talent yet burdened by fiery anger, he’s fighting battles on and off the pitch. Growing up as the son of a Nigerian immigrant and a British mother, David navigates the pressures of cultural expectations, the weight of his own ambitions, and the scrutiny of a sport that demands perfection.

Passion drives him forward, but his temper holds him back. Can he channel his emotions and prove himself worthy of being football's next big star?
 David Jones: The Next big thing is a gripping coming-of-age story about resilience, identity, and the unrelenting pursuit of dreams.

The Next Big Thing

David sat on the couch, phone in hand, still staring skeptically at Jonathan. The man was nervously fumbling with the phone, mumbling apologies into it. "Sir, my Ole, sorry for the delay... I'm with my client now," Jonathan stammered.

David raised an eyebrow. "What client?"

Jonathan immediately covered the phone and whispered in David's direction, "Do you want the deal or not?"

David frowned, clearly annoyed. "Is this for real?"

Jonathan, trying to hold it together, quickly turned back to the phone and spoke into it. "Sir, sorry, we're having network issues. My client here would like to talk to you." He handed the phone to David, who shot him a pointed look.

David reluctantly took the phone and spoke into it, his tone cold. "Hello, Mr. So-Called Ole. I still don't believe this is really you. I'd love to do a video call if you're serious."

Is it real?
