Mame Thiam, a former Fenerbahçe player currently wearing the Eyüpspor jersey, announced that his compatriot Amara Diouf will sign with Fenerbahçe. In his statement, Thiam said, "When I first saw Amara Diouf, I recommended him to Fenerbahçe. It was about 2-3 years ago. The Fenerbahçe officials said they would keep an eye on him. They will sign him as soon as possible. Hopefully, Amara will do his best at Fenerbahçe."
The Senegalese striker Mame Thiam, who once played for Fenerbahçe and currently plays for the Süper Lig team Eyüpspor, made statements to HT Spor. Thiam gave a transfer message to Fenerbahçe with his statements made live.
'HE WILL SIGN WITH FENERBAHÇE'
Speaking about the 17-year-old citizen Amara Diouf, who is on Fenerbahçe's agenda, Mame Thiam said, "Amara Diouf is a very big talent. I have watched him a lot. I think he is a special player. He can play on the wing, is a scorer, and physically strong. Talents from Senegal usually go to France and Italy, and sometimes to England. I have good relations in both Senegal and Turkey. I want to change this situation. I am working to bring talented footballers to Turkey when they are young. I recommended Amara Diouf to Fenerbahçe the first time I saw him. It was about 2-3 years ago. The Fenerbahçe officials said they would keep an eye on him. They will sign him as soon as possible. Hopefully, Amara will do his best at Fenerbahçe. I hope we can bring such talented footballers to Turkey when they are younger and grow Turkish football." he said.
'COMPARED TO SADIO MANE'
Continuing his words, the Senegalese striker said, "Amara is still very young and has a long way to go to develop. If he gets injured, he will recover quickly; I vouch for his quality. Normally, I don't like to talk about players from other teams, but I believe in him 100%. He will have a good career at Fenerbahçe and in the world. He can play on the left, right wing, and forward. If everything goes well and he doesn't get injured, I think he will make a mark in Europe. He is compared to Sadio Mane. I am not someone who likes to compare players. Mane is the best footballer in our history." he stated.
