According to this site, the former Marseille and FC Barcelona player is 10th in the standings behind Ghanaian Abedi Pelé, Liberian George Weah, Ivorian Didier Drogba who are respectively first, second and eighth.
Malian international Seydou Kéïta alias Seydoublen is one of the best players in the history of African football. He has just been ranked among the 20 best African players of all time in the French championship by the site Afriquesport.net.
From the junior category, Seydou Kéïta known as Seydoublen, stood out. He and his teammates were vice-world champions in 1999 against Argentina. At the end of this competition already, the connoisseurs of the round ball predicted a prodigious destiny for the young Kéïta, named best player of the competition, and history proved them right.
In 2002, when Mali hosted the African Cup of Nations (Can), iI scores a goal that marked the spirits of all Malians in the opening match against Liberia by George Weah (who had also opened the scoring). However, he and his teammates came up against a fierce Cameroon in the semi-finals and finished the competition in fourth place.
The brilliant participation of Seydoublen in this Can gives a boost to his football career. He began his international professional career in Ligue 1 of France.
