Amara Diouf made his debut for the Lions of Teranga in their 1-1 draw with Rwanda on Saturday, coming off the bench in the 71st minute to replace Cheikh Sabaly. 

In doing so, the talented winger, a product of the famous Generation Foot academy in Senegal, became the youngest player in history to play for the African champions at just 15 years and 94 days old. 

Football Espana has claimed top European sides such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Barcelona have been paying close attention to his development, but, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Diouf has already agreed a future transfer to Metz. 

The teenager is reportedly set to join the French side, whom his international teammate Sadio Mane first represented in Europe, in a deal that will likely be formalised when he turns 18.
