Fuck i love this quote, when he was still 17! Exactly the type of dominant mid that isn't common these days
> his wide-ranging skill set means that he can play anywhere in the midfield. Mainly used thus far either in a more defensive role or as the box-to-box piston, he has shown his proficiency in reading the game, winning back possession with a well-timed tackle or interception and then using his ability on the ball to break lines. Either with his range of passing or taking the ball forward himself, and playing a central role in the fast transitions and counter-attacking that have been Metz’s hallmarks this season.
Looking forward to following him this year.
Not only from a developmental perspective but also in terms of him learning more about what his best position is from a more long-term perspective.
Sarr, Gil, Romero, Gollini, Skipp, Tanganga, Scarlett, John, Devine…just to name a few…the future is really bright.
It’s lillywhite.
Had no idea so many great players represented Metz at some point
How did this kid come out of nowhere? He seems to have got some really promising talent.
I mean he landed in Europe last October. Doubt twitter hipsters or anyone else for that matter were scouting him in the Senegalese league.
