Roma defender Ebrima Darboe set to change his surname

Roma defender Ebrima Darboe is set to change his surname to Peruzzi.

Five years ago, he arrived in Italy on a refugee boat as an unaccompanied child, and the father of Miriam Peruzzi, one of his agents, is completing the process to adopt him.

“Darboe is a very polite guy, a nice person. Everybody knows him at Roma because of this," Mrs. Peruzzi told Calciomercato.com.

“My father is a coach and we have decided to adopt him. He will soon complete the process so that Ebrima can become part of our family. He will become a Peruzzi: Ebrima Darboe Peruzzi," she added.

“We decided it many years ago, not now that he is playing in Serie A. I am really happy, he deserves so and he is fully integrated into our family."
