TBRV SPORTS/ NICOLAS PEPE HISTORIC MOVE; AFRICA RISING

His name is Nicolas Pepe, he just became the most expensive African footballer ever after completing a whopping £72m move to North London based club - Arsenal FC from French based club Lille.

Personally, I'm thrilled for him, not because I'm emotionally connected to his Country - Ivory Coast having toured the beautiful City of Abidjan during my sojourn round Africa, nor because of Ivorian & Chelsea FC Legend Didier Drogba whom I hold in high esteem, no; but for the simple reason is that Africans are beginning to live up to the hype in world football. Whether he's worth £72m or not, I do not care to participate in that dead-end argument.

Yes, despite my affiliation with Chelsea FC, but I am African first, where my loyalty lies. I want Africa to be great, I want Africans to break world records, I want Africans to thrive where ever we find ourselves. I'm always supportive of any African trying to take Africa to the world centre stage.

I celebrate this record-breaking feat. Every African should... unless you're graduating to a witch.

I wish you emulate from the footsteps of your predecessors in the Premier League like Didier Drogba, Didier Zokora, Kone, Yaya Touré, Kolo Touré, Kalou, Arouna Dindane that took Ivorian football to the pinnacle.

With 22 goals & 11 assists at Lille last season, Nicolas is ready to take the Premier League by storm👏👏.

Africa will be great again! 💪💪
