Victory's Kamsoba accepts international call-up

Melbourne Victory attacker Elvis Kamsoba has been called up to Burundi's 28-man Africa Cup of Nations squad.

The 22-year-old resisted a call-up earlier this year for a qualifier but will now fight for a spot in Burundi's side as they appear at the tournament for the first time.

Kamsoba only made his A-League debut in January but very quickly impressed as he went on to make 16 league appearances for Victory.

Burundi attempted to secure Kamsoba's services in March for a match against Gabon with the attacker revealing to Goal at the time he still harboured ambitions to play for the Socceroos.
