It cost 27 million and Patrice Evra's new business that all footballers will love

Former Manchester United and French national team defender, Patrice Evra, has teamed up with entrepreneur Tommy Fish to launch a groundbreaking new platform called 'Player'. Described as the "LinkedIn of football", this innovative platform aims to connect young footballers with clubs, agents, and scouts, providing them with unprecedented opportunities to advance their careers.

At the heart of 'Player' is the player profile. Here, young footballers can showcase their skills and abilities by sharing detailed statistics, highlight videos, and personal achievements. This comprehensive profile gives players a platform to gain visibility in the highly competitive world of football and catch the eye of potential employers.

Evra's personal experience in the sport was the driving force behind the creation of 'Player'. Having not had the opportunity to train at a professional academy as a youth, he understands the challenges faced by many young footballers. "When I was at Manchester United, I would have loved to have a platform to share my memories and achievements with my community," said Evra.

The platform offers a range of features designed to benefit both players and clubs. Players can create networks, connect with mentors, and access educational resources. Clubs, on the other hand, can use 'Player' to scout talent, identify potential recruits, and build their own talent pipelines.

By providing a centralized platform for young footballers to showcase their abilities, 'Player' has the potential to revolutionize the way talent is discovered and developed. The platform also aims to create a more transparent and efficient recruitment process, reducing the reliance on traditional scouting methods.

"We believe that 'Player' has the power to democratize football," said Tommy Fish, co-founder of the platform. "By giving young players a voice and a platform to showcase their talent, we can help to create a more level playing field and ensure that the best players get the opportunities they deserve."

With its unique blend of technology and football expertise, 'Player' is poised to become a game-changer in the world of youth football. As the platform continues to grow, it has the potential to shape the careers of countless young players and redefine the way we think about talent identification and development.
