African football could soon witness a new international battle, with 17-year-old Adil Hamdani attracting interest from both Algeria and Senegal.
Currently playing for the French U-17 national team, the Olympique Lyonnais player is highly sought after thanks to his heritage.
With an Algerian father and a Senegalese mother, both countries can hope to convince him to represent them in the future.
Scouted in the Paris suburbs and brought up through the youth system, the left winger quickly rose through the ranks at Lyon.
He even made his professional debut last season, appearing in seven matches for the Rhone-based club. His recent progress has not gone unnoticed by African soccer federations.
The Senegalese Football Federation, in particular, has reportedly begun reaching out to the player and his family to present its international plans.
