“Cheick is a clean and technically very interesting runner-up midfielder. He has a volume of play and a profile that we did not have at the training center yet. He arrived from Mali at winter with our club. We noticed his good adaptability. He is very attentive and serious. You can see that he wants to progress. He knows what he wants and is smart about it. His qualities pleased us! It’s a boy who breathes football! A lot of young players have passed tests at home and it is the first that we keep. This is proof that he has an interesting profile. ”
