I got a call from the manager and I was excited, I got the chance to represent my country I know a few other lads are ready because they play in England like (Osman) Kakay from QPR and (Sullay) Kaikai from Wycombe I’ve been seen them being called up,””When I got the call people did know that I’m half Sierra Leone, to show everyone that I’m Sierra Leonean and a proud one is an honour to be here and hopefully I can help the team progress and do some really good things,” said Sesay.Sesay was called into the Harambee Stars squad back in 2019 but let the chance pass as he reportedly focused on helping his then club Crawly beat the drop.“The uncapped 20-year-old is grateful for Kenya’s interest but wants to help make sure Crawley are not sucked into a relegation scrap.

Training with the National Team was good we had a light session when we landed on Tuesday,””I already have an idea of how we need to play as a team and the boys were really welcoming, they are of very good quality, I can see something in each of the players and I think we can do good things in football because we had a more tactical session,” added Sesay.
