On Wednesday, the 25-year-old winger supported the West African country’s fight against the pandemic with his financial contribution
Monaco forward Keita Balde said his €17,000 donation to Senegal to boost their fight against the coronavirus pandemic was an act from his heart.
Balde made the pledge of 11 million FCFA in local currency, during a television fundraising event organised by E Media group in collaboration with several Senegalese channels including 2s TV, 7TV, DTV and Walf TV.
The pacy winger is the second Senegalese footballer to support the country as they look to curb the spread of the virus, after Liverpool’s Sadio Mane donated £41,000 to health authorities a week ago.
