From church drums to soccer ground: an unconventional upbringing

Marc Guehi was born in the town of Abidjan, that gave the likes of Didier Drogba and Wilfried Zaha to the world. After his first birthday, the family moved to England and settled in Lewisham. Initially, what interested Guehi was not soccer but playing drums in the family church. Both of his parents were highly religious, with his dad being a pastor. As a result, it was a priority for the father to guard his child’s faith.

Hence, when Marc Guehi declared his intention to attend a soccer school, it was met with resistance from the parents. Instead, the advice he received was to focus on education. But Guehi didn’t want to give up on his dream. He deceived his parents and claimed that education would be his priority. Soon after, he received soccer classes and later his talent came to the attention of a Chelsea scout. From then on, there was no looking back. Now to the big question, is Guehi in a relationship?
