Description:

Moussa Sylla joined AS Monaco youth academy from CS Bretigny in 2014. It seems that deciding on this club was the right choice because Monaco is not afraid to focus on the youth, the best examples of which recently are Anthony Martial, Almamy Touré, Kylian Mbappé and Thomas Lemar. During the 16/17 season, he was one of the biggest stars of Monaco U-19 side in the UEFA Youth League, when he scored 2 goals and 6 assists, and his team was knocked out at the last 16 stage after a 3-4 defeat against Real Madrid. He is also a French youth international and is currently a member of ‘Les Bleus’ U-18 team.
