'He's like old Ronaldo' - Birmingham City star Adams earns comparisons with Brazil legend

As the youngster prepares to take on his promotion-chasing former club, one ex-team-mate believes he has what it takes to emulate a superstar

Birmingham City hotshot Che Adams' playing style is reminiscent of former Barcelona and Brazil idol Ronaldo, according to his old team-mate Matt Baker.

Adams, 22, took a circuitous route to St. Andrews.

The forward cut his teeth in non-league football after failing to make the grade at Coventry City, beginning his career in the depths of the United Counties League before moving up to the Northern Premier League with Ilkeston Town.
