Ismael Bennacer<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 22\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Dec 1, 1997\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Arles, France\nNationality:<\/strong> Algerian\nPosition:<\/strong> Midfielder \u2013 Defensive Midfielder\nFoot:<\/strong> Left\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> AC Milan\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 20 Million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217700\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\"  Ismael Bennacer<\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nCurrently, on a 5 year deal with AC Milan which earns him 1.5m Euro per-annum, Bennacer is a sensation to watch on the pitch. He\u2019s played 13 out of 18 league games in the 2019\/2020 season. Also, the 21-year-old has already represented his nation 21 times and played an integral role in ending the nation's 29-year wait for the AFCON in 2019. He was voted the \u2018Best Young Player\u2019 and \u2018Best Player\u2019 of the tournament. As the transfer market opens, Bennacer would be a decent buy for clubs looking to strengthen the middle of the park.\n

Hakimi can play at left\/right back and sometimes operates as a winger. In 2017 Hakimi graduated from the famous Madrid Castilla before being shipped out on loan to Germany. He is currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund. The right amount might tempt Madrid to let go.\n

Victor Osimhen<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 21<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Dec 29, 1998<\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Lagos, Nigeria<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Nigerian<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Forward \u2013 Center Forward<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Lille<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 30 million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217705\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\"  Victor James Osimhen<\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nHas a total of 10 goals in 20 Ligue 1 fixtures.

He won the 'Golden Boot' and the \u2018Silver Ball\u2019 in 2015. Although this is his breakthrough season with the Ligue 1 giants, Victor might still be available in this transfer market. Surely, with his ability, he would be a steal for any club. However, Osimhen once mentioned<\/a> he would prefer Bundesliga to any other league.\n

He is worth about 20m Euro in the transfer market. However, he will be an easy target for rich clubs across Europe. After signing a 5-year deal just this summer, he might just be looking for a bigger platform to exhibit his talent.\n

Alfa Semedo<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 22<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> August 30, 1997                           <\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Bissau<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Guinea- Bissau<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Midfielder \u2013 Defensive Midfielder<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Nottingham Forest<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 4 million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217709\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\" Alfa Semedo <\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nSemedo will be the best buy for top European clubs looking for \u2018a number 6\u2019.

Ismael Bennacer<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 22\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Dec 1, 1997\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Arles, France\nNationality:<\/strong> Algerian\nPosition:<\/strong> Midfielder \u2013 Defensive Midfielder\nFoot:<\/strong> Left\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> AC Milan\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 20 Million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217700\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\"  Ismael Bennacer<\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nCurrently, on a 5 year deal with AC Milan which earns him 1.5m Euro per-annum, Bennacer is a sensation to watch on the pitch. He\u2019s played 13 out of 18 league games in the 2019\/2020 season. Also, the 21-year-old has already represented his nation 21 times and played an integral role in ending the nation's 29-year wait for the AFCON in 2019. He was voted the \u2018Best Young Player\u2019 and \u2018Best Player\u2019 of the tournament. As the transfer market opens, Bennacer would be a decent buy for clubs looking to strengthen the middle of the park.\n

Achraf Hakimi<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 21<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Nov 4, 1998<\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Madrid, Spain<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Moroccan<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Defender \u2013 Right Back<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Borrusia Dortmund<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 45 million Euro<\/em>\n\n\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217703\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\" Achraf Hakimi<\/strong><\/em>[\/caption]\n\nMay not be a realistic target this transfer market for clubs looking for immediate recruits as his parent club, Real Madrid, might not be looking to sell. Hakimi can play at left\/right back and sometimes operates as a winger. In 2017 Hakimi graduated from the famous Madrid Castilla before being shipped out on loan to Germany. He is currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund. The right amount might tempt Madrid to let go.\n

Victor Osimhen<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 21<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Dec 29, 1998<\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Lagos, Nigeria<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Nigerian<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Forward \u2013 Center Forward<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Lille<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 30 million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217705\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\"  Victor James Osimhen<\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nHas a total of 10 goals in 20 Ligue 1 fixtures. He is obviously one of the best youth players on the continent. The fearless and hardworking striker is already enjoying comparison with Samuel E\u2019too. He won the 'Golden Boot' and the \u2018Silver Ball\u2019 in 2015. Although this is his breakthrough season with the Ligue 1 giants, Victor might still be available in this transfer market. Surely, with his ability, he would be a steal for any club. However, Osimhen once mentioned<\/a> he would prefer Bundesliga to any other league.\n

He is worth about 20m Euro in the transfer market. However, he will be an easy target for rich clubs across Europe. After signing a 5-year deal just this summer, he might just be looking for a bigger platform to exhibit his talent.\n

Alfa Semedo<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 22<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> August 30, 1997                           <\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Bissau<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Guinea- Bissau<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Midfielder \u2013 Defensive Midfielder<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Nottingham Forest<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 4 million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217709\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\" Alfa Semedo <\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nSemedo will be the best buy for top European clubs looking for \u2018a number 6\u2019. With his vision for break up play and his quick release of the ball, Semedo has moved himself top of the pile with the best on the continent. Loaned from Benfica for game time, he is looking to settle at a top side and seal his place in the records of African greats.\n\nIt may seem as if Liverpool will get an early league crowning in the English Premier League (EPL). However, if top contenders like Manchester City, Leicester City, and Chelsea make good use of the transfer market window, they may still be able to cause an upset.

Ismael Bennacer<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 22\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Dec 1, 1997\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Arles, France\nNationality:<\/strong> Algerian\nPosition:<\/strong> Midfielder \u2013 Defensive Midfielder\nFoot:<\/strong> Left\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> AC Milan\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 20 Million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217700\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\"  Ismael Bennacer<\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nCurrently, on a 5 year deal with AC Milan which earns him 1.5m Euro per-annum, Bennacer is a sensation to watch on the pitch. He\u2019s played 13 out of 18 league games in the 2019\/2020 season. Also, the 21-year-old has already represented his nation 21 times and played an integral role in ending the nation's 29-year wait for the AFCON in 2019. He was voted the \u2018Best Young Player\u2019 and \u2018Best Player\u2019 of the tournament. As the transfer market opens, Bennacer would be a decent buy for clubs looking to strengthen the middle of the park.\n

Hakimi can play at left\/right back and sometimes operates as a winger. In 2017 Hakimi graduated from the famous Madrid Castilla before being shipped out on loan to Germany. He is currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund. The right amount might tempt Madrid to let go.\n

Victor Osimhen<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 21<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Dec 29, 1998<\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Lagos, Nigeria<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Nigerian<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Forward \u2013 Center Forward<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Lille<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 30 million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217705\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\"  Victor James Osimhen<\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nHas a total of 10 goals in 20 Ligue 1 fixtures. He is obviously one of the best youth players on the continent. The fearless and hardworking striker is already enjoying comparison with Samuel E\u2019too. He won the 'Golden Boot' and the \u2018Silver Ball\u2019 in 2015. Although this is his breakthrough season with the Ligue 1 giants, Victor might still be available in this transfer market. Surely, with his ability, he would be a steal for any club. However, Osimhen once mentioned<\/a> he would prefer Bundesliga to any other league.\n

He is worth about 20m Euro in the transfer market. However, he will be an easy target for rich clubs across Europe. After signing a 5-year deal just this summer, he might just be looking for a bigger platform to exhibit his talent.\n

Alfa Semedo<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 22<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> August 30, 1997                           <\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Bissau<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Guinea- Bissau<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Midfielder \u2013 Defensive Midfielder<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Nottingham Forest<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 4 million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217709\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\" Alfa Semedo <\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nSemedo will be the best buy for top European clubs looking for \u2018a number 6\u2019.

Loaned from Benfica for game time, he is looking to settle at a top side and seal his place in the records of African greats.\n\nIt may seem as if Liverpool will get an early league crowning in the English Premier League (EPL).

He was voted the \u2018Best Young Player\u2019 and \u2018Best Player\u2019 of the tournament.

\"Sustainable fashion never goes out of style\" is a mantra that Mariama Camara has sought to go by and she has truly shown the whole world that it is indeed true.

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter where you come from. What\u2019s most important is where you expect to be. Dream big. Believe in yourselves, and know the only limitations are those set by you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the 21-year-old has already represented his nation 21 times and played an integral role in ending the nation's 29-year wait for the AFCON in 2019. He was voted the \u2018Best Young Player\u2019 and \u2018Best Player\u2019 of the tournament.

He is currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund. The right amount might tempt Madrid to let go.\n

Also, the 21-year-old has already represented his nation 21 times and played an integral role in ending the nation's 29-year wait for the AFCON in 2019. He was voted the \u2018Best Young Player\u2019 and \u2018Best Player\u2019 of the tournament. As the transfer market opens, Bennacer would be a decent buy for clubs looking to strengthen the middle of the park.\n

Hakimi can play at left\/right back and sometimes operates as a winger. In 2017 Hakimi graduated from the famous Madrid Castilla before being shipped out on loan to Germany. He is currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund. The right amount might tempt Madrid to let go.\n

Victor Osimhen<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 21<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Dec 29, 1998<\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Lagos, Nigeria<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Nigerian<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Forward \u2013 Center Forward<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Lille<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 30 million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217705\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\"  Victor James Osimhen<\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nHas a total of 10 goals in 20 Ligue 1 fixtures.

He won the 'Golden Boot' and the \u2018Silver Ball\u2019 in 2015. Although this is his breakthrough season with the Ligue 1 giants, Victor might still be available in this transfer market.

He is worth about 20m Euro in the transfer market. However, he will be an easy target for rich clubs across Europe. After signing a 5-year deal just this summer, he might just be looking for a bigger platform to exhibit his talent.\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter where you come from. What\u2019s most important is where you expect to be. Dream big. Believe in yourselves, and know the only limitations are those set by you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a leading female entrepreneur who is making a real impact in society, Mariama Camara was featured in a popular film called Dream, Girl<\/em>. This is what she said when asked about her greatest achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Dream Finally Comes True<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting out as a model showcasing other designers\u2019 clothes did not deter her from accomplishing her childhood dream. Eventually, Mariama Fashion Production was born in 2012 in New York City. The company sources fabrics from across the African continent and develops products for established and emerging brands internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her designs appeal to the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of the society like the former United States First Lady, Michelle Obama, and the likes and continue to grace international runways. She has met many prominent people like former presidents of the United States, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"Sustainable fashion never goes out of style\" is a mantra that Mariama Camara has sought to go by and she has truly shown the whole world that it is indeed true. She uses some of her resources to offer sustainable solutions<\/a> to the local communities. During an interview with Daughters of Africa<\/a>, Mariama Camara encouraged the upcoming entrepreneurs to expand their boundaries far and wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter where you come from. What\u2019s most important is where you expect to be. Dream big. Believe in yourselves, and know the only limitations are those set by you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was voted the \u2018Best Young Player\u2019 and \u2018Best Player\u2019 of the tournament.

Hakimi can play at left\/right back and sometimes operates as a winger. In 2017 Hakimi graduated from the famous Madrid Castilla before being shipped out on loan to Germany. He is currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund. The right amount might tempt Madrid to let go.\n

He is worth about 20m Euro in the transfer market. However, he will be an easy target for rich clubs across Europe. After signing a 5-year deal just this summer, he might just be looking for a bigger platform to exhibit his talent.\n

Years later, Mariama Camara became the first woman from Kindia to showcase tie and dye designs on international platforms. Afterward, she started selling her designs on the international market. She plans to uphold the legacy of her family by empowering African artisans to continue designing creative and beautiful handcrafted textiles and other handmade products. Currently, Mariama Fashion Production based in New York City is the leading African handmade accessories and sustainable textiles company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariama Camara's Exceptional Fashion Design Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With only 100 dollars in her pocket, Mariama traveled to America in 2001. Initially, she had gone to visit her sister Tigui Mounir Camara, the founder of Tigui Mining Group. She had no intentions of overstaying. However, along the way, she found love, got married, and ended up staying. She looked forward to making her American dream come true in New York City<\/a> which unlike where she had come from, was fast-paced and bigger. Despite feeling intimated by the big city, she knew it was the best place for her to realize her fashion dream and be what she wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beginning of Mariama's Non-Profit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, Mariama Camara together with her younger sister, Aissata Camara, started an international non-profit organization called There Is No Limit Foundation<\/a>. The organization majors in fighting poverty, diseases, and gender inequality by empowering the communities through facilitating economic activities, health, and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Dream Finally Comes True<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting out as a model showcasing other designers\u2019 clothes did not deter her from accomplishing her childhood dream. Eventually, Mariama Fashion Production was born in 2012 in New York City. The company sources fabrics from across the African continent and develops products for established and emerging brands internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her designs appeal to the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of the society like the former United States First Lady, Michelle Obama, and the likes and continue to grace international runways. She has met many prominent people like former presidents of the United States, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Mariama Camara Doing of Late?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently, she ventured into skincare products and 100% natural healthy foods through her new company KANAFRIK<\/a>. The company which was launched in July 2020 is located in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Mariama Camara plans to have KANAFRIK outlets across Africa and internationally by 2023. At the same time, she seeks to promote \u2018Made in Africa by Africans\u2019 brands through this newly formed company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of her skincare products include natural soaps, aloe vera gels, Shea butter, and natural oils among others. So far, the company has grown exponentially earning both local and international media attention. Being the devoted humanitarian that she is, KANAFRIK will also be another platform through which she will impact society by providing economic empowerment opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Aspirations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Years later, Mariama Camara became the first woman from Kindia to showcase tie and dye designs on international platforms. Afterward, she started selling her designs on the international market. She plans to uphold the legacy of her family by empowering African artisans to continue designing creative and beautiful handcrafted textiles and other handmade products. Currently, Mariama Fashion Production based in New York City is the leading African handmade accessories and sustainable textiles company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariama Camara's Exceptional Fashion Design Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With only 100 dollars in her pocket, Mariama traveled to America in 2001. Initially, she had gone to visit her sister Tigui Mounir Camara, the founder of Tigui Mining Group. She had no intentions of overstaying. However, along the way, she found love, got married, and ended up staying. She looked forward to making her American dream come true in New York City<\/a> which unlike where she had come from, was fast-paced and bigger. Despite feeling intimated by the big city, she knew it was the best place for her to realize her fashion dream and be what she wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beginning of Mariama's Non-Profit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, Mariama Camara together with her younger sister, Aissata Camara, started an international non-profit organization called There Is No Limit Foundation<\/a>. The organization majors in fighting poverty, diseases, and gender inequality by empowering the communities through facilitating economic activities, health, and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Dream Finally Comes True<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting out as a model showcasing other designers\u2019 clothes did not deter her from accomplishing her childhood dream. Eventually, Mariama Fashion Production was born in 2012 in New York City. The company sources fabrics from across the African continent and develops products for established and emerging brands internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her designs appeal to the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of the society like the former United States First Lady, Michelle Obama, and the likes and continue to grace international runways. She has met many prominent people like former presidents of the United States, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Mariama Camara Doing of Late?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently, she ventured into skincare products and 100% natural healthy foods through her new company KANAFRIK<\/a>. The company which was launched in July 2020 is located in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Mariama Camara plans to have KANAFRIK outlets across Africa and internationally by 2023. At the same time, she seeks to promote \u2018Made in Africa by Africans\u2019 brands through this newly formed company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of her skincare products include natural soaps, aloe vera gels, Shea butter, and natural oils among others. So far, the company has grown exponentially earning both local and international media attention.

The movement of players from one club to another is both thrilling and emotional.

Inasmuch as they are shining stars, their clubs may be willing to let them go for the right price. Enough of the chit chat, here are the promising soccer stars from Africa on our list.\n

Ismael Bennacer<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 22\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Dec 1, 1997\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Arles, France\nNationality:<\/strong> Algerian\nPosition:<\/strong> Midfielder \u2013 Defensive Midfielder\nFoot:<\/strong> Left\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> AC Milan\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 20 Million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217700\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\"  Ismael Bennacer<\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nCurrently, on a 5 year deal with AC Milan which earns him 1.5m Euro per-annum, Bennacer is a sensation to watch on the pitch. He\u2019s played 13 out of 18 league games in the 2019\/2020 season. Also, the 21-year-old has already represented his nation 21 times and played an integral role in ending the nation's 29-year wait for the AFCON in 2019. He was voted the \u2018Best Young Player\u2019 and \u2018Best Player\u2019 of the tournament. As the transfer market opens, Bennacer would be a decent buy for clubs looking to strengthen the middle of the park.\n

Hakimi can play at left\/right back and sometimes operates as a winger. In 2017 Hakimi graduated from the famous Madrid Castilla before being shipped out on loan to Germany. He is currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund. The right amount might tempt Madrid to let go.\n

Victor Osimhen<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 21<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Dec 29, 1998<\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Lagos, Nigeria<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Nigerian<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Forward \u2013 Center Forward<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Lille<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 30 million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217705\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\"  Victor James Osimhen<\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nHas a total of 10 goals in 20 Ligue 1 fixtures.

He won the 'Golden Boot' and the \u2018Silver Ball\u2019 in 2015. Although this is his breakthrough season with the Ligue 1 giants, Victor might still be available in this transfer market.

The movement of players from one club to another is both thrilling and emotional.

He\u2019s played 13 out of 18 league games in the 2019\/2020 season. Also, the 21-year-old has already represented his nation 21 times and played an integral role in ending the nation's 29-year wait for the AFCON in 2019. He was voted the \u2018Best Young Player\u2019 and \u2018Best Player\u2019 of the tournament. As the transfer market opens, Bennacer would be a decent buy for clubs looking to strengthen the middle of the park.\n

Hakimi can play at left\/right back and sometimes operates as a winger. In 2017 Hakimi graduated from the famous Madrid Castilla before being shipped out on loan to Germany. He is currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund. The right amount might tempt Madrid to let go.\n

He won the 'Golden Boot' and the \u2018Silver Ball\u2019 in 2015. Although this is his breakthrough season with the Ligue 1 giants, Victor might still be available in this transfer market.

Mariama Camara was born in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa. She is the fifth born of eight children. Amusingly, her maternal great-grandmother was one of the women who made it big in the tie and die industry in Kindia region of Guinea. Growing up, she watched her family design tie and dye prints and her passion for handmade products and textiles was kindled. Later on, her love for fashion continued to grow at her uncle\u2019s tailoring business in Guinea. She would collect and use the scrap strips of material to make dresses for her dolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Aspirations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Years later, Mariama Camara became the first woman from Kindia to showcase tie and dye designs on international platforms. Afterward, she started selling her designs on the international market. She plans to uphold the legacy of her family by empowering African artisans to continue designing creative and beautiful handcrafted textiles and other handmade products. Currently, Mariama Fashion Production based in New York City is the leading African handmade accessories and sustainable textiles company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariama Camara's Exceptional Fashion Design Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With only 100 dollars in her pocket, Mariama traveled to America in 2001. Initially, she had gone to visit her sister Tigui Mounir Camara, the founder of Tigui Mining Group. She had no intentions of overstaying. However, along the way, she found love, got married, and ended up staying. She looked forward to making her American dream come true in New York City<\/a> which unlike where she had come from, was fast-paced and bigger. Despite feeling intimated by the big city, she knew it was the best place for her to realize her fashion dream and be what she wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beginning of Mariama's Non-Profit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, Mariama Camara together with her younger sister, Aissata Camara, started an international non-profit organization called There Is No Limit Foundation<\/a>. The organization majors in fighting poverty, diseases, and gender inequality by empowering the communities through facilitating economic activities, health, and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Dream Finally Comes True<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting out as a model showcasing other designers\u2019 clothes did not deter her from accomplishing her childhood dream. Eventually, Mariama Fashion Production was born in 2012 in New York City. The company sources fabrics from across the African continent and develops products for established and emerging brands internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her designs appeal to the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of the society like the former United States First Lady, Michelle Obama, and the likes and continue to grace international runways. She has met many prominent people like former presidents of the United States, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariama Camara plans to have KANAFRIK outlets across Africa and internationally by 2023. At the same time, she seeks to promote \u2018Made in Africa by Africans\u2019 brands through this newly formed company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of her skincare products include natural soaps, aloe vera gels, Shea butter, and natural oils among others. So far, the company has grown exponentially earning both local and international media attention. Being the devoted humanitarian that she is, KANAFRIK will also be another platform through which she will impact society by providing economic empowerment opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s played 13 out of 18 league games in the 2019\/2020 season. Also, the 21-year-old has already represented his nation 21 times and played an integral role in ending the nation's 29-year wait for the AFCON in 2019. He was voted the \u2018Best Young Player\u2019 and \u2018Best Player\u2019 of the tournament. As the transfer market opens, Bennacer would be a decent buy for clubs looking to strengthen the middle of the park.\n

Hakimi can play at left\/right back and sometimes operates as a winger. In 2017 Hakimi graduated from the famous Madrid Castilla before being shipped out on loan to Germany. He is currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund. The right amount might tempt Madrid to let go.\n

Victor Osimhen<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 21<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Dec 29, 1998<\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Lagos, Nigeria<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Nigerian<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Forward \u2013 Center Forward<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Lille<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 30 million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217705\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\"  Victor James Osimhen<\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nHas a total of 10 goals in 20 Ligue 1 fixtures.

He won the 'Golden Boot' and the \u2018Silver Ball\u2019 in 2015. Although this is his breakthrough season with the Ligue 1 giants, Victor might still be available in this transfer market.

A Preview of Mariama Camara Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VPL5atTkQDs\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mariama Camara was born in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa. She is the fifth born of eight children. Amusingly, her maternal great-grandmother was one of the women who made it big in the tie and die industry in Kindia region of Guinea. Growing up, she watched her family design tie and dye prints and her passion for handmade products and textiles was kindled. Later on, her love for fashion continued to grow at her uncle\u2019s tailoring business in Guinea. She would collect and use the scrap strips of material to make dresses for her dolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Aspirations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Years later, Mariama Camara became the first woman from Kindia to showcase tie and dye designs on international platforms. Afterward, she started selling her designs on the international market. She plans to uphold the legacy of her family by empowering African artisans to continue designing creative and beautiful handcrafted textiles and other handmade products. Currently, Mariama Fashion Production based in New York City is the leading African handmade accessories and sustainable textiles company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariama Camara's Exceptional Fashion Design Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With only 100 dollars in her pocket, Mariama traveled to America in 2001. Initially, she had gone to visit her sister Tigui Mounir Camara, the founder of Tigui Mining Group. She had no intentions of overstaying. However, along the way, she found love, got married, and ended up staying. She looked forward to making her American dream come true in New York City<\/a> which unlike where she had come from, was fast-paced and bigger. Despite feeling intimated by the big city, she knew it was the best place for her to realize her fashion dream and be what she wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beginning of Mariama's Non-Profit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, Mariama Camara together with her younger sister, Aissata Camara, started an international non-profit organization called There Is No Limit Foundation<\/a>. The organization majors in fighting poverty, diseases, and gender inequality by empowering the communities through facilitating economic activities, health, and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Dream Finally Comes True<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting out as a model showcasing other designers\u2019 clothes did not deter her from accomplishing her childhood dream. Eventually, Mariama Fashion Production was born in 2012 in New York City. The company sources fabrics from across the African continent and develops products for established and emerging brands internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her designs appeal to the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of the society like the former United States First Lady, Michelle Obama, and the likes and continue to grace international runways. She has met many prominent people like former presidents of the United States, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of her skincare products include natural soaps, aloe vera gels, Shea butter, and natural oils among others.

Mariama Camara was born in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa. She is the fifth born of eight children. Amusingly, her maternal great-grandmother was one of the women who made it big in the tie and die industry in Kindia region of Guinea. Growing up, she watched her family design tie and dye prints and her passion for handmade products and textiles was kindled. Later on, her love for fashion continued to grow at her uncle\u2019s tailoring business in Guinea. She would collect and use the scrap strips of material to make dresses for her dolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Aspirations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Years later, Mariama Camara became the first woman from Kindia to showcase tie and dye designs on international platforms. Afterward, she started selling her designs on the international market. She plans to uphold the legacy of her family by empowering African artisans to continue designing creative and beautiful handcrafted textiles and other handmade products. Currently, Mariama Fashion Production based in New York City is the leading African handmade accessories and sustainable textiles company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariama Camara's Exceptional Fashion Design Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

She had no intentions of overstaying. However, along the way, she found love, got married, and ended up staying. She looked forward to making her American dream come true in New York City<\/a> which unlike where she had come from, was fast-paced and bigger. Despite feeling intimated by the big city, she knew it was the best place for her to realize her fashion dream and be what she wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beginning of Mariama's Non-Profit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, Mariama Camara together with her younger sister, Aissata Camara, started an international non-profit organization called There Is No Limit Foundation<\/a>. The organization majors in fighting poverty, diseases, and gender inequality by empowering the communities through facilitating economic activities, health, and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Dream Finally Comes True<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting out as a model showcasing other designers\u2019 clothes did not deter her from accomplishing her childhood dream. Eventually, Mariama Fashion Production was born in 2012 in New York City. The company sources fabrics from across the African continent and develops products for established and emerging brands internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her designs appeal to the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of the society like the former United States First Lady, Michelle Obama, and the likes and continue to grace international runways. She has met many prominent people like former presidents of the United States, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s played 13 out of 18 league games in the 2019\/2020 season. Also, the 21-year-old has already represented his nation 21 times and played an integral role in ending the nation's 29-year wait for the AFCON in 2019. He was voted the \u2018Best Young Player\u2019 and \u2018Best Player\u2019 of the tournament.

He is currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund. The right amount might tempt Madrid to let go.\n

A Preview of Mariama Camara Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VPL5atTkQDs\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mariama Camara was born in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa. She is the fifth born of eight children. Amusingly, her maternal great-grandmother was one of the women who made it big in the tie and die industry in Kindia region of Guinea. Growing up, she watched her family design tie and dye prints and her passion for handmade products and textiles was kindled. Later on, her love for fashion continued to grow at her uncle\u2019s tailoring business in Guinea. She would collect and use the scrap strips of material to make dresses for her dolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Aspirations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Years later, Mariama Camara became the first woman from Kindia to showcase tie and dye designs on international platforms. Afterward, she started selling her designs on the international market. She plans to uphold the legacy of her family by empowering African artisans to continue designing creative and beautiful handcrafted textiles and other handmade products. Currently, Mariama Fashion Production based in New York City is the leading African handmade accessories and sustainable textiles company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariama Camara's Exceptional Fashion Design Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With only 100 dollars in her pocket, Mariama traveled to America in 2001. Initially, she had gone to visit her sister Tigui Mounir Camara, the founder of Tigui Mining Group. She had no intentions of overstaying. However, along the way, she found love, got married, and ended up staying. She looked forward to making her American dream come true in New York City<\/a> which unlike where she had come from, was fast-paced and bigger. Despite feeling intimated by the big city, she knew it was the best place for her to realize her fashion dream and be what she wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beginning of Mariama's Non-Profit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, Mariama Camara together with her younger sister, Aissata Camara, started an international non-profit organization called There Is No Limit Foundation<\/a>. The organization majors in fighting poverty, diseases, and gender inequality by empowering the communities through facilitating economic activities, health, and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Dream Finally Comes True<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting out as a model showcasing other designers\u2019 clothes did not deter her from accomplishing her childhood dream. Eventually, Mariama Fashion Production was born in 2012 in New York City. The company sources fabrics from across the African continent and develops products for established and emerging brands internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her designs appeal to the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of the society like the former United States First Lady, Michelle Obama, and the likes and continue to grace international runways. She has met many prominent people like former presidents of the United States, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariama Camara plans to have KANAFRIK outlets across Africa and internationally by 2023. At the same time, she seeks to promote \u2018Made in Africa by Africans\u2019 brands through this newly formed company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of her skincare products include natural soaps, aloe vera gels, Shea butter, and natural oils among others. So far, the company has grown exponentially earning both local and international media attention.

A Preview of Mariama Camara Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VPL5atTkQDs\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mariama Camara was born in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa. She is the fifth born of eight children. Amusingly, her maternal great-grandmother was one of the women who made it big in the tie and die industry in Kindia region of Guinea. Growing up, she watched her family design tie and dye prints and her passion for handmade products and textiles was kindled. Later on, her love for fashion continued to grow at her uncle\u2019s tailoring business in Guinea. She would collect and use the scrap strips of material to make dresses for her dolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Aspirations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Years later, Mariama Camara became the first woman from Kindia to showcase tie and dye designs on international platforms. Afterward, she started selling her designs on the international market. She plans to uphold the legacy of her family by empowering African artisans to continue designing creative and beautiful handcrafted textiles and other handmade products. Currently, Mariama Fashion Production based in New York City is the leading African handmade accessories and sustainable textiles company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariama Camara's Exceptional Fashion Design Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With only 100 dollars in her pocket, Mariama traveled to America in 2001. Initially, she had gone to visit her sister Tigui Mounir Camara, the founder of Tigui Mining Group. She had no intentions of overstaying. However, along the way, she found love, got married, and ended up staying. She looked forward to making her American dream come true in New York City<\/a> which unlike where she had come from, was fast-paced and bigger. Despite feeling intimated by the big city, she knew it was the best place for her to realize her fashion dream and be what she wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beginning of Mariama's Non-Profit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, Mariama Camara together with her younger sister, Aissata Camara, started an international non-profit organization called There Is No Limit Foundation<\/a>. The organization majors in fighting poverty, diseases, and gender inequality by empowering the communities through facilitating economic activities, health, and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Dream Finally Comes True<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting out as a model showcasing other designers\u2019 clothes did not deter her from accomplishing her childhood dream. Eventually, Mariama Fashion Production was born in 2012 in New York City. The company sources fabrics from across the African continent and develops products for established and emerging brands internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her designs appeal to the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of the society like the former United States First Lady, Michelle Obama, and the likes and continue to grace international runways. She has met many prominent people like former presidents of the United States, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement of players from one club to another is both thrilling and emotional. As clubs look to bolster their ranks with the perfect acquisitions, we present some of the young African players to watch. These young players are worth a fortune in the transfer market. Inasmuch as they are shining stars, their clubs may be willing to let them go for the right price. Enough of the chit chat, here are the promising soccer stars from Africa on our list.\n

Ismael Bennacer<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 22\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Dec 1, 1997\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Arles, France\nNationality:<\/strong> Algerian\nPosition:<\/strong> Midfielder \u2013 Defensive Midfielder\nFoot:<\/strong> Left\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> AC Milan\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 20 Million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217700\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\"  Ismael Bennacer<\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nCurrently, on a 5 year deal with AC Milan which earns him 1.5m Euro per-annum, Bennacer is a sensation to watch on the pitch. He\u2019s played 13 out of 18 league games in the 2019\/2020 season. Also, the 21-year-old has already represented his nation 21 times and played an integral role in ending the nation's 29-year wait for the AFCON in 2019. He was voted the \u2018Best Young Player\u2019 and \u2018Best Player\u2019 of the tournament. As the transfer market opens, Bennacer would be a decent buy for clubs looking to strengthen the middle of the park.\n

Achraf Hakimi<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 21<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Nov 4, 1998<\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Madrid, Spain<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Moroccan<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Defender \u2013 Right Back<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Borrusia Dortmund<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 45 million Euro<\/em>\n\n\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217703\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\" Achraf Hakimi<\/strong><\/em>[\/caption]\n\nMay not be a realistic target this transfer market for clubs looking for immediate recruits as his parent club, Real Madrid, might not be looking to sell. Hakimi can play at left\/right back and sometimes operates as a winger. In 2017 Hakimi graduated from the famous Madrid Castilla before being shipped out on loan to Germany. He is currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund. The right amount might tempt Madrid to let go.\n

Victor Osimhen<\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 21<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> Dec 29, 1998<\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Lagos, Nigeria<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Nigerian<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Forward \u2013 Center Forward<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Lille<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 30 million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217705\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\"  Victor James Osimhen<\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nHas a total of 10 goals in 20 Ligue 1 fixtures. He is obviously one of the best youth players on the continent. The fearless and hardworking striker is already enjoying comparison with Samuel E\u2019too. He won the 'Golden Boot' and the \u2018Silver Ball\u2019 in 2015. Although this is his breakthrough season with the Ligue 1 giants, Victor might still be available in this transfer market. Surely, with his ability, he would be a steal for any club. However, Osimhen once mentioned<\/a> he would prefer Bundesliga to any other league.\n

These are the words that best describe Diawara's style of play. Diawara is obviously a great addition to AS Roma. They acquired his services from Serie A  rivals Napoli. He is worth about 20m Euro in the transfer market. However, he will be an easy target for rich clubs across Europe. After signing a 5-year deal just this summer, he might just be looking for a bigger platform to exhibit his talent.\n

Alfa Semedo<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\nAge:<\/strong> 22<\/em>\nDate of birth:<\/strong> August 30, 1997                           <\/em>\nPlace of birth:<\/strong> Bissau<\/em>\nNationality:<\/strong> Guinea- Bissau<\/em>\nPosition:<\/strong> Midfielder \u2013 Defensive Midfielder<\/em>\nFoot:<\/strong> Right<\/em>\nCurrent Club:<\/strong> Nottingham Forest<\/em>\nMarket Value:<\/strong> 4 million Euro<\/em>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_217709\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"735\"]\"\" Alfa Semedo <\/em><\/strong>[\/caption]\n\nSemedo will be the best buy for top European clubs looking for \u2018a number 6\u2019.
