Athekame's Masterclass: Lyon's Star Shines
19 Oct
Summary
- Athekame, a young Swiss full-back, was man of the match.
- His decisive assist contributed to Lyon's 2-1 victory over Nice.
- His value has reportedly doubled since his transfer from Young Boys.
Zachary Athekame was named man of the match following his exceptional performance in Lyon's recent 2-1 victory against Nice. The Swiss right-back, born in 2004, provided a crucial assist for Tessman's second goal, a moment that has drawn widespread praise from major French sports publications.
Since manager Paulo Fonseca has consistently trusted him, Athekame has demonstrated remarkable progress. His current form suggests a significant increase in his market value, potentially doubling the initial transfer fee of nearly 10 million that AC Milan's Igli Tare agreed upon with Young Boys.
Athekame's development and increased maturity are evident, making him a more valuable asset. His performances not only bolster Lyon's success but also reflect positively on his journey, with potential implications for his former club, AC Milan.
