Unknown to the general Belgian public, a 20-year-old midfielder seems to be gradually making his mark with Olympique de Marseille.

His name is Noam Mayoka-Tika and he has been playing in Marseille since last July. Before joining the only French club to have won the Champions League, the Hennuyer midfielder had passed through Mouscron and Westerlo. While waiting to break into the first team, the native of Charleroi plays with the Marseille reserve team, in National 3 – Group A. Note that he has, on several occasions, already accompanied the A core of the Ligue 1 resident.

In an interview given to Sudinfo, Kevin Bushiri, agent of Mayoka-Tika, declared that the Marseillais had directly felt that his player had something special. “In my opinion, the Marseillais immediately sensed his potential. In fact, he is not a player who shines with his flamboyance. He is above all a discreet boy but who plays fair and without embellishments. He has an enormous sense of sacrifice and goes the distance to put his partners in good conditions. It is on this criterion that we wanted to make Noam a player of our agency: while he was still very young, we found him very active on the field and when we work with him on a daily basis, we are amazed by his strength of character. He has unfailing determination.”
