Hi, I came by to promote this, but have 2 questions. Does the source say he is the youngest footballer to sign a scholarship contract in Zagreb, or the world? And do you want to say how old he was? The repetition of "footballer" in the hook should also be fixed. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:10, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

@Yoninah: The source which is in Croatian, when translated mentions him to be the youngest footballer to achieve the feat (does not mention about the Zagreb one). RRD (talk) 16:04, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

@Royroydeb: to avoid the repetition in the hook, could we write:
ALT1:~~... that at age 12, Edin Šehić became the youngest footballer to sign a scholarship contract?~~ Yoninah (talk) 23:50, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

@Yoninah: . Of course. RRD (talk) 07:01, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

No, I think not. The source is in Croatian and is unlikely to have a world perspective. It's more likely that he was the youngest ever recipient of a scholarship at that club. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:11, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

ALT2: ... that at age 12, Edin Šehić became the youngest footballer to sign a scholarship contract for NK Zagreb? RRD (talk) 07:24, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. Foreign-language ALT2 hook ref AGF and cited inline. Rest of review per Cognissonance. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 14:19, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
