Masal Bugvuv, or should I say “M’Asal Beag Bubh”, translates from Irish into “My Wee Black Ass”.

Nonetheless – owned.

BALTI, MOLDOVA (AP) The top sports daily in Balti, Moldova is reporting Tuesday night that Moldovan teenage sensation Masal ‘Massi’ Bagduv is in London with a view to signing for a leading English football club, with Reading FC being named as the most likely destination.
If signed, it is believed that the teenage international who is now out of contract at Olimpia Tirol will be loaned to Irish Club Cork City for the remainder of the Irish domestic football season and will return to play for Reading in mid-winter.
The deal is believed to be part of the plans by Reading to sell Ireland striker Kevin Doyle and to purchase Cork striker David Mooney.
“Massi is a player of great and enormous potential who will bring wins to what ever club he plays for. Already this year he has caught the interest of Arsenal FC manager Wenger and Zenit St Petersburg, but he wants to play in English football and our plan is to gradually introduce him to this” said his agent and mentor Sergei Yulikov last night.
“I cannot comment on the Reading situation and the link with the Irish club City of Cork FC,”but if it means that Massi will be playing in England this season 08-09, it can only be good for him.
Bugduv left Moldova at 0700 GMT Tuesday in the company of Yulikov and flew to London via Budapest, where it is believed he has met with officials of Reading FC.
Masal Bugduv has been described as one of the most exciting young footballers to come out of Moldocan football.
Born on April 14, 1992, he shot to fame playing for his native FC Olimpia B?l?i for whom he scored a hattrick on his competitive debut in an Adzi Cup match in December 2007.
Bagduv became the youngest player capped at that level by his country and he went on to make his senior international debut aged just 16 years and 44 days when he came on for the national team in their 2-2 draw with Armenia in a friendly international in Tiraspol on May 28.
Trailing 2-1 with just ten minutes left, Moldova seemed set to lose until Bagduv lost his marker on the left wing, shimmied inside two defenders and fired in a shot that could only be parried by Armenian keeper Racif into the path of onrushing Igor Bugaev who equalised. (AP)
