Caen phenomena Niang M’Baye attracting interest from Manchester City – Ligue 1 news
According to reports in French media, 16-year-old striker Niang M’Baye is attracting a lot of interest from big-spending English Premier League side Manchester City.
The Meulan-born youngster made his debut for Caen earlier this year in a Ligue 1 game against Toulouse. Though the youngster made only seven appearances for Caen, his three goals had done enough to attract the interest of many European clubs.
At the age of only 16, the young striker has shown a lot of promise. The Stade Malherbe de Caen prodigy is now courted by Manchester City who have been monitoring the striker for a long time. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in M’Baye.
While giving an interview to Skysports, the young striker revealed that he will represent http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Senegal-c3001 at senior level and also admitted about Manchester City’s interest in him.
“It’s a dream to be under the radar of such a team. This shows that I am going in the right direction. I’m a striker so I will learn a lot from playing along the likes of Tevez, Balotelli and Adebayor. However, it is just a dream as nothing has been done
as far as I know.”
If the 16-year-old chooses to join Manchester City, M’Baye would match Raphael Varane’s achievement. Varane recently joined http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid at the age of 18 which is a tender age for a player to join such a big club.
M’Baye is only 16 and a move to a club like Manchester City might prove to be a big gamble by the youngster. Furthermore, the youngster’s development could slow down at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s starting XI is already
tough.
The youngster also admits that he has to improve a lot in order to become a better player. “I am 16 and very happy with the season but I need to gain experience. Training with International players will allow me to improve,” M’Baye said.
The youngster has now revealed that he chose to play for Senegal because he believed that he was never really appreciated by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899. Though the youngster was born in France and has a French passport, he will now feature for Senegal which is a major boost
for the African side.
