South Sudan national team defender John Kuol Chol has been praised by Swedish based football agent Abdifatah Mohamed.

The defender who features for Kenya Premier League side FC Kariobangi Sharks has greatly improved in the last two years for both national team and club.

“Chol is a very serious player who needs to go professional in Europe when he is still young. He has good game reading and knows football,” said Mohamed, the Founder and CEO of Atoto Sports Management based in Stockholm.

The agent is in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania trying to tap talent at the on-going U-17 Total Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).

Chol is captain of the South Sudan U-23 team that ejected Uganda in the first round of the U-23 Afcon/Olympic Games 2020 qualifiers before they lost 1-0 on aggregate to Tunisia last month in the second round.
