My Take
What grabs me about Moussa Niakhate is the classic modern-football identity story: born in Roubaix in northern France in 1996, yet he chose to represent Senegal at international level. That decision always interests me more than the stats, because it speaks to roots and belonging rather than convenience. At 190cm he's built like the textbook centre-back, and a move into Ligue 1 with Lyon feels like a homecoming after years abroad. I see a steady, no-frills defender rather than a headline-chaser. The quiet ones who just keep showing up tend to outlast the flashier names, and I'd back him to do exactly that.
