Pirates teenager relishes working with Thierry Henry

Orlando Pirates wonderkid Lyle Foster is looking forward to working with football legend and Monaco coach Thierry Henry.


According to reports, Foster is set to join the Ligue 1 giants Monaco in January after agreeing to a five-year-deal with the French side.

“I am still an Orlando Pirates player. But it’s God’s will that I am going to Monaco. I just have to take it and follow it. It’s good that SA players are moving to Europe at a younger age,” said Foster at the Discovery Water Sisulu Soccer Challenge launch in Sandton.

Foster hopes to learn from Henry once he joins the French club in January.
