It’s a major development on the national team front as 22-year-old forward Moussa Yeo has officially decided on the next step in his international career by choosing to represent Mali.
Although also eligible to play for Ivory Coast, the player who came up through the European ranks ultimately opted for the Eagles jersey.
This decision puts an end to the suspense surrounding his highly sought-after talent and gives the Malian head coach a top-tier offensive option, one with impressive speed and considerable room for growth.
Currently establishing himself at the club level with Swansea City, the young forward is poised to take an important step in his career by experiencing the demands of top-level international competition in Africa.
Capable of tearing apart opposing defenses and making incisive runs, he will be eager to bring his freshness and sense of the game to the Malian team.
He is a major reinforcement for the Eagles, who are strengthening their offensive depth ahead of major, decisive matches.
