According to a recent report by RMC (via Get Football News France), Brighton and Hove Albion will find out whether they have won the race to secure the signature of Paris Saint-Germain youngster Moussa Sissako this summer. The same source has revealed that the French-born talent will opt to either sign for the Seagulls or Newcastle United in the coming hours after he received four-year contract offers from both clubs.
The Remarkable Rise Of Moussa Sissako At Paris
The 18-year-old began his playing career at PSG before fighting his way up the youth ranks to earn a place in their ‘B’ team. The Mali centre-back put in a few impressive displays in the UEFA Youth League in the 2017-18 campaign. He made four appearances for the French side and provided one assist in that competition.
However, Sissako has still not managed to make a first-team start at the French capital thus far. He has incredible potential and could become one of the stars of tomorrow. However, there is still a long way to go before he is ready to feature regularly at the highest level.
A change of scenery could help Sissako make a breakthrough and get a taste of some first-team action in the coming years. Hence, both Brighton and Newcastle would be desperate to add him to their ranks as he is a prospect to look out for in the future.
What Are The Mali Starlet’s Best Attributes?
Sissako is a powerhouse in defence and commands his own box with authority and conviction. He is very aggressive in the way he approaches the game. The PSG wonderkid has proven in the past that he can make some crucial interceptions for his side when they need him to step up the most.
However, the Mali teen sensation is still quite raw and would need time to hone his skills so that he can become a world-class defender someday. The Seagulls will do well to win the race to sign Sissako as he has the potential to become a success story in English football.
Is Sissako A Star In The Making?
At the same time, there are some concerns over whether he would be able to cope with life in the English top-flight, which is renowned for its physicality and high intensity. Even then, there is no denying that Sissako will be a talent to look out for, as long as he is willing to work hard to unlock his true potential.
