Impact see midfielders Ballou, Choiniere as potential homegrown stars
MONTREAL — If there are younger players ready to earn playing time on the veteran Montreal Impact squad, it would be teenage midfielders Ballou Jean-Yves Tabla and David Choiniere.
Asked about the pair this week, coach Mauro Biello said: “I don’t think we’ve seen talent like that in Quebec in the last 30 years.”
The 17-year-old Ballou, as he is called, and 19-year-old Choiniere are seen as key players for the future of the Major League Soccer club. Ballou wants that to start this season.
“It depends on me, how I do,” he said this week.
