Sevilla FC African Legends and the Modern Stars
Sevillas connection with African talent has a long and proud history. Legendary names like Seydou Keita Mali and Frdric Kanout Mali remain central to the clubs rich heritage. Kanout, Sevillas all-time top scorer in European competitions, won two UEFA Cups with the club, cementing his status as a club icon.
Meanwhile, Seydou Keita was a dynamic midfielder during his time at Sevilla, bringing both physicality and technique to the side - a trait that he would later take to Barcelona, making him one of the few players to represent both clubs.
