Real Madrid are watching Senegalese superkid Amara Diouf.

Diouf is the talk of African football today having made his senior Senegal debut on the weekend at 15 years of age.

He is currently playing for Generation Foot, which is a Senegalese partner of Metz in France.

So Foot says Diouf will move to Metz when he turns 18, though Real Madrid are watching the situation closely. Metz have close ties to Senegalese football, with both Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly former players.

"At 18, Amara will go to FC Metz. It is our associated club, which has helped launch the careers of many Senegalese people," explained Mady Tour, founder and president of Gnration Foot, who revealed that Man has advised the young man to go to Metz.

"Sadio, who is his role model, talks a lot with Amara. The other day he told her: 'Sign for Metz, you won't regret it. I went through the third division with this team, and look where I am now. The big clubs will still be there if you don't miss the stages'."
