Tanzania have called up a 15-year-old forward nicknamed 'Mbappe' for their preliminary 2019 Africa Cup of Nations squad.
Taifa Stars head coach Emmanuel Amuneke has included 15-year-old Kelvin John Pius in his initial 39-man squad for the upcoming AFCON in Egypt in June.
The teenager who has reportedly attracted the interest of Manchester City and AFC Ajax has been called up alongside Genk superstar Mbwana Samatta, the highest African goalscorer in Europe this season with 31 goals in all competitions.
John, who is nicknamed Mbappe after the French star Kylian, impressed at the recent Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations that Tanzania hosted last month.
