Yann Ekra came through the ranks at Lyon alongside the likes of Benzema, Ben-Arfa and Lacazette. He was also in the French youth national team with Sakho, Brahimi, M'Vila, etc, and very highly-rated. He eventually moved to England and joined Hull City in the Premier League but failed to make an appearance for the Tigers. Through an unusual twist of fait, he is now playing in the US and looking to rebuild his career there. Thought this was quite an interesting interview. Talks about being Benzema's roommate for 4 years, why Ben-Arfa hasn't made it to the top, Juninho's free-kick taking in training, why he failed particularly at Hull, etc. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/02/1...via-hull-the-life-of-former-french-prodigy-y/
