Despite the interest of some clubs, the president of the Senegalese Football League declares that: “Olympique de Marseille has absolute and total priority. Will he follow in the footsteps of former Senegalese such as Habib Beye, Mamadou Niang, Souleymane Diawara? For now, there is still a long way to go, but this one is already the pride of his people.

Nasser Larguet trusts him

It is very present in the 16.50 meters, where we lack it, commented Nasser Larguet, the interim coach. “He has been training with the pro group recently, is making his mark and is gradually making a place for himself in the team. This is one of the first elements that signs with us from this academy in Senegal. He’s a boy who made a lot of effort, who worked a lot ” he concluded. The confidence is there, the beautiful story is on.
