The Senegalese prodigy Amara Diouf has just signed with Turkish club Fenerbahçe, according to Turkish sources.

At only 17 years old, the "Lionceaux" striker had been on the radar of several European clubs, notably FC Metz, who were hoping to sign him once he turned 18.

According to Turkish media, the former Génération Foot academy player will undergo another surgery before joining Fenerbahçe's first team.

After suffering a torn cruciate ligament, the young Senegalese forward underwent a first surgery last July.

It appears the player has suffered a setback, which is why the Turkish club has decided to send him back to the operating table, according to the same Turkish sources.
