BAYERN Munich and Germany international, Jamal Musiala has spoken about his Nigerian heritage, revealing that his father is a Nigerian whose favourite food is “fufu”.
The 21-year-old midfielder spoke about his background recently when he appeared as a player guest on the popular show ‘How Hungry Are You’ by Chef Serge Ibaka.
In the conversation that followed, Musiala explained that he had never been to Nigeria but his father always speaks to him about the culture and food of the country
“I have never been to Africa before even though I always wanted to but we have never really had the time to go over there.
“My dad is from Nigeria and he always tells me about the culture and everything about African foods. My dad made fufu while I was growing up back in England; he made this dish [fufu] every other day,” Musiala said.
Musiala was born in Stuttgart to a Nigerian father and a German mother. He was raised in England from the age of seven after his family moved to the United Kingdom.
