Having become a Senegalese international at just 15 years and 94 days old, prodigy Amara Diouf should discover Europe under the colors of FC Metz.
This is a moment in history for Senegalese football. Amara Diouf made her debut with the Lions of Téranga on Saturday evening during the meeting between Senegal and Rwanda in the CAN qualifiers. His age ? 15 years and 94 days.
The young prodigy took advantage of the fact that coach Aliou Cissé chose to only call up players from the national championship, to rest his executives, the African champions already being assured of their qualification. With number 20, Amara Diouf entered around twenty minutes from the end of the match.
This young prodigy is currently playing within Génération Foot, the academy founded in 2000 by FC Metz. Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have already approached the player, according to So Foot. But his adventure would first have to go through Lorraine.
