Abdul Kader Keita is probably one of the few suprises in the Cote d’Ivoire squad.

And the Cote d’Ivoire and Lille striker is just happy to be involved with the national team.

He will be out to show his capability after being selected as one of the forwards to represent the Cote d’Ivoire squad.

A player with undeniable talent, I believe his form with French Ligue 1 club Lille towards the end of season convinced Henri Michel to give him a chance. He was called into the the squad in March for the friendly against Spain and took his chance netting one goal in the 3-2 defeat to Spain.
