Emmanuel Latte Lath's Journey from Ivory Coast to Union Berlin

Emmanuel Latte Lath, a forward for Union Berlin, shares his journey from the Ivory Coast to Italy, which began when he was eight years old. He moved to Europe at the age of six, reuniting with his father in Italy, which helped him adapt to his new life.

Latte Lath reminisces about his childhood in Africa, where he played street football with friends, a stark contrast to his structured football experiences in Italy. He joined Atalanta's academy in 2015 and made his professional debut, scoring against Juventus in the Coppa Italia.

After several loan spells, he signed with Middlesbrough, where he excelled under coach Michael Carrick, scoring 29 goals in 67 matches. This performance led to a record transfer to Atlanta United, but after a challenging stint in the MLS, he returned to Europe on loan to Union Berlin, where he appreciates the city's vibrant culture and passionate fans.
