Despite facing challenges in recent years, Seychelles football has managed to produce promising young talent. One such player is Lorenzo Hoareau, who has been making waves in the domestic league, both at youth and senior levels. His impressive performances have attracted attention from scouts around the world.
Hoareau, a versatile attacker, has shown immense potential in his young career. He is known for his attacking skills, including his ability to dribble past defenders, create scoring chances, and finish with precision. His performances have earned him comparisons to some of the biggest names in world football.
The inclusion of Hoareau on The Guardian’s list of 60 The Best Talents In World of Football would be a major boost for Seychelles football. It would not only highlight his individual talent but also showcase the potential of Seychelles football to produce top-quality players on the global stage.
While Hoareau is still in the early stages of his career, his potential is undeniable. If he continues to develop, he could become one of the biggest stars in Seychelles football history.
“Lorenzo may not be the most naturally gifted player on this prestigious list, but he has earned a spot for his feats going all the way back in 2021. Then, at age 14, he became the youngest player from an African nation to score in a senior international match, and the second-youngest scorer worldwide, after netting in a friendly against Burundi. Since then, his uncanny nose for goal has continued to earn him call-ups for Seychelles, winning seven caps and scoring three goals for the Pirates. Hoareau has previously had a trial with Marseille, and if he maintains his goalscoring form for both club and country, it is not entirely far-fetched to imagine him playing in a top European league one day. While this might seem like a modest aim, it would be a monumental milestone for football in Seychelles.” – Maher Mezahi.
The Guardian’s list of 60 best young talents includes the most promising players born in 2007. Alongside names like Shane Kluivert, Marc Bernal, and Lamine Yamal, you’ll find Lorenzo Hoareau. Interestingly, during his trial in Serbia, Hoareau shared the field with Andrija Maksimovic, a player now linked to top clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool, and Juventus after his recent impressive performances in the starting XI of Crvena zvezda against Inter Milan in the Champions League.
At Seysoccer, we’re excited to see what the future holds for Lorenzo Hoareau. Best of luck!
