The Total Africa Cup of Nations Egypt 2019 is set to become a platform for many young talents, but if there is one footballer who tops that list, it is Malian youngster Sekou Koita, who helped his side reach the quarter-finals of the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland few weeks ago.
Koita is a player with character and talent, Mali head coach Mohamed Magassouba said when asked why he summoned the youngster for the AFCON.
Indeed, the boy from the Kita neighbourhood near the Malian capital, Bamako, has shown that he is a star of the future having been played a huge role in the Malian triumph at the Total U-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Niger last February, a feat which earned them the ticket to the global championship in Poland.
