The Breton breeding ground is definitely full of very promising nuggets. On the side of En Avant Guingamp, a name is starting to circulate with insistence: that of Fadiala Tounkara (@photo credit @natpics_22). At only 17 years old, this young Franco-Malian striker, 1.85 m tall, is having an exceptional season with the U19 category. Nicknamed the “TGV” because of his devastating percussion and his dazzling speed of execution, this powerful and intelligent striker has panicked the scorers this year. Captain of the EAG during the Gambardella Cup, he compiled the impressive total of 14 goals and 4 assists in 21 matches played (U19 championship and Gambardella).
Obviously, such an explosion does not go unnoticed on the transfer market, especially since his contractual situation is particularly attractive. At the end of his lease on June 30, the young talent finds himself at a turning point. If the management of En Avant Guingamp is currently discussing with his entourage to try to get him to sign his very first professional contract in Côtes-d’Armor, the foreign threat is becoming very pressing. According to our information, several German teams, including Borussia Mönchengladbach, are following his development with great attention to enlist him. Austria is also on the scene, with strong interest from RB Salzburg, always very fond of this type of explosive profile. Guingamp will have to be particularly convincing to maintain its offensive rock!
