“I chose Senegal with my heart and I have no regrets. It is a team that is building with a good generation and young players who are doing well in England.
“I see myself continuing at Napoli. I’ve already learned a lot here, especially as a defender. The Coach trusts me, so does the city, and I want to play in the Champions League with this club. It’s a childhood dream.”
