Faye’s rise to prominence began when he joined FC Barcelona from NK Kustosija Zagreb, a Croatian Second Division team. His impressive displays for the Barça Atlètic earned him a call-up to the Senegal national team, and his stock has been rising ever since.

With FC Barcelona considering selling Faye, several top clubs are lining up to sign him. The English newspaper, Mail Sport, reports that Arsenal is one of the teams interested in the young defender, valuing his versatility to play in the center of defense and on the left side.
