HERE'S THE UGLIEST AFRICAN FOOTBALLER , HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE AND CAREER (PICTURES )

Diatta drew attention to himself following his wonderful strike for Senegal against Tanzania in their opening 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tie.

He was meant to be celebrated. Instead Africans turned it into a moment of ridicule and shaming.

Imagine an African calling out another for being too black or rather ‘ugly’, is that not racism taken to different heights?

PLAYING CAREER

Diatta plays for Club Brugge in Belgium league and Senegal.

The 20-year-old featured for his club 28 times during the 2018/2019 season. He bagged two goals and five assists.

He debuted for the Teranga Lions this year, starting in an AFCON qualifier against Madagascar.

That screamer against Tanzania was his first international goal in what was his fourth appearance.

His performance that day saw him carry home the man of the match trophy.

EARLY CAREER

The Senegalese international started his football career at Oslo Football Academy.

He later had a stint in Norway with Sarpsborg 2017-2018 before joining his current team Club Brugge a year later.

Diatta inked a four and half year contract upon his presentation.

His performances with his club and the Senegal U-20 team prompted a call up to the senior side by Coach Aliou Cissé.
