Football: Cameroon’s Lionel Messi causes stir

I know what you might be thinking: this is just another budding player trying to cash in on the confusion. You’re wrong. Lionel Messi Nyamsi are his real names and he is a 16 yr.old Cameroonian prospect who signed for French division two side Angers SCO. He formerly plied his trade at Toulouse Fontaines. His name triggered quite a stir when it came up on the Ligue 2 side’s list of players. This led some people to erroneously think it was his Argentinian Barcelona F.C namesake who had moved. But upon investigation, it was discovered that this was an entirely different person from the Argentin wonderkid. With this incident, the young Cameroonian has gathered some worldwide attention to his name and talent. Let’s pray and hope, on the field of play, his talent also causes comparisons with the three time- world player of the year. Despite being Cameoonian, he has been quoted by some media outlets as saying he wishes to play for France.
