Sahid Ngobi: "My idol? Kylian Mbappé"

If you had to sum up Sahid Ngobi in a single image, it would be that of a striker driven by a clear role model. The top scorer of the first half of the Celtiis Benin Ligue 1 with 10 goals and 2 assists in the colors of Association Sportive du Port Autonome de Cotonou (ASPAC FC), the Kandi native is building his career inspired by a name that makes an entire generation dream: Kylian Mbappé.

"My idol is Kylian Mbappé. I admire his mentality, his self-discipline, his maturity, and his consistency," confides the U20 international forward. Those values are reflected in his on-field attitude: always on the move, always hungry, never satisfied.

This growth extends beyond club football. Youth national teams, especially at U20 level, have broadened his horizons:

With 10 goals and 2 assists, ASPAC's number 19 leads the statistics for this first half of the season in Benin. Yet, far from getting carried away, he keeps a cool head:

Sahid Ngobi's ambitions are as big as his character. "On a personal level, my greatest dream is to remain a good person and give to others. In football, I want to work even harder, stay humble and keep demanding more of myself. The rest is in God's hands," he says. And when asked about his dream club, one name comes up: Arsenal.

As the second half of the season, scheduled for February 28, approaches, all eyes will naturally be on Saïd Ngobi, who has become the player to watch in the Beninese league for the rest of the campaign.
