When Mikayil Faye started his European journey a year ago, moving from Dumbars FC academy to Croatian second-tier side NK Krstosija no one could have predicted the talented centre-back would reach the stars in less than a year.However, it was obviously written in the stars for the prodigious Senegalese centre-back to have a stellar rise. After only a couple of months spent in Croatia, the then-18-year-old provided himself with a lucrative move to Barcelona’s B side led by Rafael Marquez. Another few months of football in Europe for Faye resulted in interest from several successful clubs across the Old Continent.GOAL! Mika Faye gives Barcelona the lead.
