Normally I don't quote from Tribal.. but I guess this is legit :
Desailly: I'll find top African talent for AC Milan
tribalfooball.com - March 27, 2007
Marcel Desailly has returned to AC Milan after nine years away to become their official African scout.
The World Cup winner's appointment was confirmed yesterday and he declared: "Africans will again be scouted by Milan. There are some limitations, because of the rule regarding non-European players, but we will try to find a way to bring them to Italy.
"We want to buck the trend which has seen African players struggle when immediately joining big European clubs. Often the young players must go to a small club before developing like Michael Essien, Didier Drogba or Samuel Eto'o.
"But we hope to find players who can make an immediate contribution."

About time we start looking to Africa for talent. Good decision. Good luck to Monsieur DESAILLY
