Who is Issa Soumaré, the surprise in Patrick Vieira's list?

Issa Soumaré, born on October 10, 2000, in Podor, was trained at Génération Foot, a renowned academy in Senegal. At 25, he received his first call-up to the Senegal national team after a professional career in France, notably with Stade Rennais. Soumaré already has significant experience with nearly 200 professional matches and had previously played for Senegal's under-17 team. His call-up is seen as a reward for his patience and steady progression in football.
