Fifteen-year-old Allen James from Kollam has become a social media sensation for his striking resemblance to Barcelona star Lamine Yamal. A viral video has earned over 14 million views, while Allen’s followers crossed 20,000. The young footballer now hopes to receive a message from Yamal.
Kollam: At first glance,he could easily be mistaken for Spain and Barcelona star Lamine Yamal arriving in Keralam. The face, hairstyle and smile bear an uncanny resemblance to the football sensation. But a closer look reveals that this is Keralam's own 'Yamal ', 15-year-old Allen James from Chakkuvally in Kollam.
Allen has now become a local social media sensation, with his striking resemblance to Yamal drawing widespread attention. Although people had pointed out the similarity earlier, a video featuring Allen, filmed and shared by block panchayat member and vlogger Nikhil Manohar, brought the resemblance to a much wider audience.
Videos of Allen wearing a Yamal jersey further fuelled the interest. One of the videos posted by Manohar has garnered more than 14 million views on Instagram.
But Allen's connection with football goes beyond his appearance. A Class 10 student of Peruvazhi Government High School, he is an active member of his school football team and plays in defence. While Yamal is known for his attacking exploits, Allen prefers to operate in the defensive line.
