A Liverpool fan has invited Sadio Mané to a library just miles from his home town ahead of the World Cup at the end of the year.
Teba Diatta was born in England to an English mum and Senegalese dad. She returned to her dad's country when she was a child with her younger brother Sam and her parents but has been reluctant to return after catching malaria there. The freelance journalist finally returned to Senegal in 2001 for four months where she was taught life lessons and just two years later, after returning to York, she decided to begin raising money for a library in Oussouye.
The 40-year-old managed to raise thousands thanks to the backing of then Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira. The current Crystal Palace boss got in touch with Teba after she reached out to footballer Jean-Marc 'Jimmy' Adjovi-Bocco who managed to get Patrick Vieira to give her a call.
