"I'm hoping he avoids injury, but he'll be a top, top, top player."
"He is, without a doubt, a very talented prospect." He idolizes Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Kane.
"He's always watching Cristiano YouTube videos and trying to imitate him." He has speed, is good in the air, and is a goal scorer."
Samba has had his own fantastic football story, beginning as one of the most sought-after youngsters while scoring goals for fun at the youth level.And, as he prepares to become an agent, he wants to ensure that the sport's future stars do not follow in his footsteps.
"I'm telling Adama, 'listen, get your football ready, concentrate on your game, and everything else will take care of itself," the former striker stated.
"These are the things I can steer him away from based on my own experience and path when I was growing up."
"I deal with the stuff he shouldn't know." Allow me to shoulder that weight, and he only needs to concentrate.
"I've been there, done that, and got the T-shirt, so there's no one better to steer him away from the game's pitfalls."
