Getting to know Him
Moussa Konate is a Senegalese footballer who plays for Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv. The 19 year old who can either play as a Striker or a Winger played for Senegals U23s at this years London Olympics. He has also played For the Senegal U20s and the Senegal senior team. He has played three times for the senior side and scored twice.
London 2012 Olympics
Moussa Konate scored 5 goals in 4 games for Senegal in London this Summer. It was personally a brilliant tournament for the young man but Senegal will be disapointed that they did not go further in the competition after looking so promising in the early stages. Senegal came second in the Group behind GB. In their first game, Konate scored a late equaliser against GB to earn a draw at Old Trafford. In Senegals second game at wembley, Moussa scored twice to earn a 2-0 victory over Uruguay. In their third group game, Konate scored an equaliser against the UAE to earn another 1-1 draw and set up a Quarter final game at Wembley with Mexico. Konate scored but it wasn't enough for Senegal as they lost 4-2 after ET.
How good is Konate?
Take a look for yourself.....
Who is interested in Moussa?
Man City, Man Utd, Newcastle and West Ham have all apparently shown an interest in Moussa according to the Newspapers which is understandable as he looks like a real talent. However, I think he has only been linked with Newcastle because they have Demba Ba & Papiss Demba Cisse who are also from Senegal. Realistically, I cant see any of these teams signing him.
Prediction for the future?
I think Moussa Konate can become a good quality player playing at the highest levels off the Game. If he moved to the Premier league, he could become a hit straight away like Demba Ba & Papiss Cisse for his scoring. He has a big future ahead of him!
