[edit] Career

When he was nine, he joined the Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. academy. Zizov has briefly trained with FC Barcelona and was a target of Chelsea F.C., but eventually he joined Levski Sofia, with whom he has already played an official match in the A PFG: against PFC Rodopa Smolyan in September 2006 when he is 16 years, 2 month and 15 days old and thus he became the youngest foreign player making an appearance for the Bulgarian Championship. He has been likened to Lionel Messi.
