France 1998 World Cup winner Marcel Desailly is said to be greatly impressed with the fabulous talent of one of Liberia's rising stars Nana Gibson.

The Ghanaian born, ex-French international hardworking midfielder turned defender has been thrilled by the lad's explosive cum jaw-dropping display in the middle of the park after watching the lanky but incisive playmaker showcase his conjuring ball skills on Youtube (NANA by soccer 54019).

The midfield jewel who last season featured for Liberia's darling club Invincible Eleven (IE), is currently in the fold of big spenders FC Fassell in the Liberian First Division where his delicious, quality passes and ferocious long rage shots has so far made him the club's most consistent and reliable player.

The Youtube link which was reportedly sent to the former AC Milan man Desailly by his long time friend Clarence Lee Chea who is on record of harnessing the talents of many Liberian footballers, is said to have made the industrious ex-Marseille man very impressed and has made several recommendations to his friends who are top agents in France and Italy in luring the lad to a club.

There are reports as well that some top notched clubs including AS Monaco, FC Nantes, both of France, and RCD Espanyol and SS Lazio of Spain and Italy respectively are interested in the kid dynamite who is no doubt one of the best performers on the local scene.

Further reports indicate that former Cameroonian ace goalie Thomas Nkono who is as well a member of the technical crew of Spanish Liga outfit RCD Espanyol has spoken volumes of the "twinkle twinkle little Nana as he has expressed interest in little Nana after watching his videos that were as well sent to him by his long time friend Clarence Chea.

Gibson's passing prowess, movement and heavy shots on goal gave Invincible Eleven (I.E.) the Liberian FA Cup last season making him the best player in the FA Cup and the best young player in the Liberian FA premier league 2010/2011 before moving over to FC Fassell.

The gifted player who is often mistaken for Chelsea's Brazilian midfield enforcer Ramires due to his lanky shape, precision passing, good work ethic, mazy runs, and long range shots, is currently in Accra, Ghana attending to some family matters with his beloved grand mother.

Nana is from a football family as his father Mark Gibson was Captain of the senior national team the Lone Star. Gibson who joined the Rollers from the now defunct Cedar United was as well a midfielder whose telling passes and work ethic made him win the hearts of many coaches, fans and even club mates.

Serving as Captain of the Lone Star during the six nations tournament to mark the official opening of the Samuel kanyon Doe Sports stadium in 1986 where the Lone Star ended third after beating the Sparrow Hawks of Togo 1-0 courtesy of a goal by full back Simon Mattor, Mark Gibson's football skills seem to have gone to his son whose virtuoso form makes him a star to watch out for.
