Amara Diouf who is aged 14, is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays as a winger for Senegal Premier League club Génération Foot and captained the Senegal National U17 team to Afcon victory. Since then he has sparked major interest from many major European clubs including Lyon and Roma. However the 14 year old is set to follow in his ‘hero’s’ footsteps and commit to the premier league. After speaking with our correspondents in Senegal it is believed Illiam Ndiaye has convinced the young star that move to Sheffield United would be the best step for his development. The pair were pictured together after the Young star raised the Afcon trophy earlier this week.
