Crespo Tabu Tuyishimire, the son of Amavubi legend late Patrick Mutesa Mafisango, is set to join Paris Saint-Germain's football academy.

The 13-year old, who plays as an attacking midfielder, was selected to join the French giants' academy after proving to be an exceptional talent during the Ijabo Ryawe Youth Championships in December 2018.

He represented - and captained - SC Kiyovu academy in the championship, which they won after beating Football Training Centre in the final.

According to his mother, Rosine Uwineza, Tuyishimire would be in France now but the traveling plans were hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic.

He earned 23 caps at senior international level for Rwanda, including ten appearances in the 2010 Fifa World Cup qualifiers.
