Sierra Leone coach John Keister is monitoring the situation of Barnet defender David Sesay, Football Sierra Leone understands.

Sesay, who has attracted interest from Kenya since 2019, is also qualified for Sierra Leone via his dad.

Sesay, hailing from a Sierra Leonean father and a Kenyan mother in the UK, is also eligible to play for England.

Sesay, 22, has been a pivotal player since joining the National League side, Barnet.
