Youth, Speed and Ambition Take the Right Wing of Elche

Buba Sangaré: Youth, Speed and Ambition Take the Right Wing of Elche

The young full-back from Elche arrives on loan from Roma with the firm intention of succeeding at home and contributing his nerve to the franjiverde project.

This Thursday, Elche CF presented its new addition, Buba Sangaré, a name that resonates strongly in the youth team and who is now making the leap to professional football with the team of his loves. At just 18 years old, the right back appeared calm and determined in front of the media, ensuring that pressure will not be an obstacle in his debut in the elite of Spanish football.

Sangaré, trained in the youth ranks of the Elche club and now on loan from AS Roma, confessed that his desire to wear the green-and-green shirt was unwavering. Despite having other proposals on the table, the call from home was the strongest, prioritizing the opportunity to play and grow in Elche.

“I'm happy to be here, with my family and my people. Elche is the club I wanted to be in since I was little and I wanted to come no matter what,” declared the footballer, who described himself as a “fast and aggressive” player, qualities that he will undoubtedly seek to display on the Martínez Valero green.

The young talent acknowledged that he still needs a period of adaptation and fine-tuning after overcoming a small injury. However, he did not spare his praise for his new coach, Eder Sarabia, highlighting his closeness with the players and his ability to create an environment conducive to the development of the team.

Aware of his youth and lack of experience in the top flight, Buba Sangaré is not intimidated. Bakary Traoré's cousin, who also plays for Elche on loan at Tarazona, trusts in the experience of his teammates to support and guide him in this new stage. The squad has veterans who can offer valuable support.

The player seemed fully prepared and ready to assume the role that Sarabia assigned to him on the right wing. A position that has been diminished by the departure of Álvaro Núñez and the ailments of Héctor Fort and Josan, which opens an important door for Sangaré to demonstrate his worth from the first moment.

For his part, Pedro Schinocca, general director of Elche, presented Buba as a “young talent” and thanked the player for his willingness to join the Elche project, underlining his commitment from the beginning.
