KRC Genk are currently top of the Belgian top division, but their ability to hold on to their best young players is dubious at best. They are about to lose 18-year-old forward Sekou Diawara for next to nothing after they banished him from the first-team setup and allowed his contract to enter its final six months.🔴 I Udinese s’intéresse à Sekou Diawara 🇧🇪 de Genk 🇧🇪 (@DiMarzio) pic.twitter.com/qYVPYtr9qt— SERIE A FRANCE 🇫🇷🇮🇹 (@seriafr) January 23, 2023 So, what happened?Diawara was relegated from the first team to Jong Genk, Genk’s youth side, at the start of the season after an incident surrounding the transfer of his younger brother Mamady to rivals Club Brugge. The brothers posed together as Mamady was showing off his new colours. It didn’t go well at Genk because the club directors saw it as a double insult: not only one of the youngsters left them, but the other was celebrating the decision.##NAJAVA_MECA_6971241##The media quickly picked up the incident, and led to various clubs looking at the possibility of signing the Belgian-born Guinean. Udinese have now won the race.Sekou Diawara is in Udine today for medical examinations and signing with the black and whites from the northeast of Italy. The attacker, born in 2004, will arrive in Friuli on a four-year contract.Despite being just eighteen, he already has a well-structured physique. He’s quick and almost 195 centimetres tall. With such attributes, he could develop into a formidable force – and Udinese leaders are counting on it.
