Amadou Diawara

He made three quick stops before reaching Rome. He has forged friendships all along the way. His journey has been an interesting one, to say the least.

This 22-year-old has received enormous praise from various parts of the footballing world. His performances have been noted by multiple sections, and they have made known their admiration frot this young boy from Guinea. We're well on our way to seeing him become one of the best central midfielders of this decade, if not the best. His origins were humble. His ambition anything but. He was lauded as the Guinean with Brazilian feet when he was initially discovered. He was so comfortable with the ball at his feet that he could play at any position in the midfield. Positional play, intercepting, passing, tackling, dribbling, and composure are all positive components of his game. He is often deployed as a holding midfielder to allow play to build up from the back. The quality on the ball allows him the luxury of playing in the center of the field as well. He did play at youth teams in his birth country with Syli Authentic (2010-2012), and FC Sequence (2012–2014) even though his father did not approve of his career choice. His European career has seen him star for San Marino and Napoli before signing for Napoli and eventually Roma in 2019. As a naturalized Italian citizen, he was eligible to play for Italy, but he has pledged his allegiance to the Guinea national team and is a member of their senior squad.
