Retired Super Eagles keeper, Vincent Enyeama said he will be on hand to groom Burkina Faso international goalkeeper, Herve Koffi, for the French Ligue 1 side, Lille.
Koffi, 20, was signed on by Lille on Wednesday from Ivorian giants, ASEC Mimosas, on long term contract after he helped Burkina Faso to a third place finish at the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon back in January.
"Koffi is a fantastic young goalkeeper and I'm
very proud to see another African come to the
club," Enyeama told BBC Sport on Thursday.
"It's heart-warming to see a young African goalkeeper earn a move to Europe; it says a lot about his qualities.
"My advice to him is that he should focus on
what has brought him to France, keep working
hard and concentrate on his job.
"I'll be available to help him settle and give
him all the necessary support he needs."
Enyeama who joined Lille in June 2011 and
has made 164 appearances, said he was
delighted with the arrival of another African
goalkeeper.
