The teenager has also shared Romano’s update on his Instagram page which suggests the deal is indeed set to go through.
Faye has reportedly been nicknamed ‘The Monster’ due to his no-nonsense brand of defending.
The defender came through the Diambars FC Academy in Senegal before signing for NK Kustosija in 2023. He’s also caught the eye while playing for Senegal’s Under-17 side.
Faye is a left-footer, capable of playing anywhere across the defense, and is already being tipped to be a future star.
