His journey took him to the Olympique Lyonnais training centre at the age of 16. His notable performances earned him a place on the Lyon professional team. In 2018, he joined Spanish club Valencia, where he continues to showcase his talent and versatility.

“From my family experience, I can say that migration can be beneficial if it is done in the right way. As an IOM Goodwill Ambassador, I want to use my cultural heritage and sporting experience to help raise awareness.”
