He fell in love with football from an early age, playing with his friends in the fields as well as for local teams, until he was discovered by the <strong>Aspire Academy<\/strong>, and in 2014 he went to <strong>Qatar<\/strong>, where he joined the academy, which specializes in nurturing players from Africa and then promotes them in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>It did not take\u00a0<strong>Moussa<\/strong>\u00a0long to make the next step. Just two years later, after winning fourth place in the <strong>2015 World Cup<\/strong> with the <strong>Senegal Under-20<\/strong> team, Eupen moved to acquire his signature. He made his official debut in January 2017 and stayed in <strong>Belgium<\/strong> for two seasons. Under the guidance of <strong>Claude Makelele<\/strong>, he helped the team avoid relegation, playing an important role by making 43 appearances and scoring one goal, while also earning a call-up to his country\u2019s national team.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer of 2018, he was included in Senegal\u2019s 23-man squad for the <strong>World Cup in Russia<\/strong>, and in the team\u2019s opening match he made history by scoring to become the youngest African to score in a World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>His achievements did not go unnoticed by <strong>Barcelona<\/strong>, who splashed out 5 million euros to sign him.<\/p>\n<p>Wagu\u00e9 initially joined the <strong>Barcelona B<\/strong> team, but in March 2019 he played for the first team in the <strong>Catalan Super Cup<\/strong> against <strong>Girona<\/strong>. He made his official debut with the <strong>Blaugrana<\/strong> on April 13 in a La Liga game against <strong>Huesca<\/strong>. He made two more appearances up until the final of the season, and in the summer he was officially promoted to the first team.<\/p>\n<p>That was until the end of January 2020, when he was loaned out to <strong>Nice<\/strong>. Wagu\u00e9 played three more times for Bar\u00e7a, twice against Dortmund and once against Inter in the <strong>UEFA Champions League<\/strong> group stage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wagu\u00e9<\/strong>\u00a0was then unlucky as he started impressively in France with two assists in five appearances, but unfortunately Covid-19 ended up prompting the cancellation of Ligue 1, with the player returning to Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>And now Barcelona accepted PAOK\u2019s offer for a one-year loan of the Senegalese player and Wagu\u00e9 will be a Double-headed Eagle for the 2020-21 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our defender Moussa Wagu\u00e9 turns 22 today, and PAOK FC would like to wish him many years of health, happiness and successes on both a personal and professional level.","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":596708,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1520,5],"tags":[2378,2457,2534,3766,14009],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.5.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Happy Birthday Moussa!
