Hot Denmark prospect, Pione Sisto, was today fielding questions about his imminent arrival on the national U21 squad... until his parents decided to give their own colourful response.
The 19-year-old midfielder was born in Sudan but moved with his African parents to Denmark when he was just two months old and he has since applied for citizenship of the Scandinavian country.
