Moussa Wagué, the young Senegalese right-back, continues to make waves in world football. A starter against Poland and Japan at the 2018 World Cup, Wagué became the youngest African goalscorer in the tournament’s history. Following his impressive performances with the Lions of Senegal, he earned a move to FC Barcelona, where he continues to develop his talent at just 20 years old.
Reflecting on his World Cup experience, Wagué told football365: “I am very proud to have played in my first World Cup in Russia. In addition, I scored my first goal for the national team against Japan (2-2). Being a starter is a dream come true, and when it happens, you are just eager to go and make it happen.”
Now, Wagué is set to participate in his third Africa Cup of Nations, marking his first finals appearance with Senegal’s senior national team. His youth, pace, and experience on the world stage make him a key figure for the Lions of Teranga as they aim to shine in Egypt at AFCON 2019.
Would you like me to also summarize his career trajectory and achievements so far in a concise profile?
