A Kenyan schoolboy is a step away from joining the prestigious youth academy of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), one of the world’s top football clubs. Apart from Amani, other young African players invited to the camp were his Ligi Ndogo clubmates Zein Mwakitawa and Benedict Mbalu. “I am very excited about the outcome,” says the Year 7 student at Brookhouse School, Nairobi, during an interview at the Ligi Ndogo grounds. PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTSStarted in 1974, the PSG Youth Academy is considered among the best in Europe and is segmented into various age groups. That’s why I like playing in midfield,” says the budding footballer, who joined Ligi Ndogo academy seven years ago at the age of five years.
