Ligue 1 star and Africa Cup of Nations hotshot Ibrahima Kone has revealed his family only learned of his secret football career when they saw him on television.
The 22-year-old top scored for Mali at the most recent AFCON tournament as his country reached the last 16, with his trio of goals putting him level with player of the tournament Sadio Mane in the overall charts. However, when he was coming through the ranks at his local club, the youngster didn't want his family knowing what he was up to.
He was largely successful, too, with even mentions on the radio failing to spoil his secret. However, when Kone played in a televised game, the jig was finally up.
