Senegalese teen sensation, Amara Diouf, has disclosed his ambitions with the Teranga Lions after earning a senior call-up for the international friendlies in March.

The 15-year-old was named in Aliou Cisse's squad for the games against Gabon and Benin as Senegal prepare ahead of June's World Cup qualifiers.

At just 15, Diouf became the youngest player to play for Senegal after making his debut in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Rwanda last year.

However, he was dropped for the tournament in Ivory Coast early this year.

Following his return to the national team, the Generation Foot forward shared his excitement while also stating his goals with Senegal.

“I came to the den and found my elders here who I have long dreamed of being with. They make us dream. They welcomed me in the most wonderful way, made me feel comfortable too and I hope to learn a lot of things from them," he said, as quoted by Wiw Sport.

"I'm here to learn, I'm behind them to learn more," he added.

“My goal is to integrate well first, then I would also like to win trophies with this selection, notably the CAN and the World Cup,” he added.

Diouf watched from the bench as Senegal defeated Gabon 3-0 in their friendly last Friday, as monitored by Sky Sports.

The teenager could add another appearance to his international career when the Teranga Lions face Benin on Tuesday.
