'Stop this bullsh*t and focus on football' - Fans slam Ibrahima Konate for 'clown outfit' after Liverpool star arrives for France duty in bizarre gear

Premier League

Liverpool

Fulham

<p>The centre-back was selected for the France squad for their upcoming Nations League fixtures over the next week or so. But his choice of attire appears to have raised a few eyebrows amongst football supporters on social media.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="fr" dir="ltr">💬 « Vous ne savez pas qui je suis ? »<br><br>L'arrivée mystérieuse de...

WHAT HAPPENED?

It's not Clairefontaine Fashion Week and given our current level the players should make themselves very small."</p><p>Another supporter <a href="https://x.com/AEkataStudios">@AEkataStudios</a> wrote: "Unpopular opinion: FFF gatherings are getting worse and worse. Players are more focused on their clown outfits than their level, they live for the satellites.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>The 25-year-old has made an impressive start to the season for Liverpool, and that has led to him being selected for Didier Deschamps' squad for their Nations League double-header. If the defender - who has 17 caps for France - performs well on the pitch, what he does off it may become less relevant. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Konate's France side resume their Nations League campaign away to Israel on Thursday evening, before travelling to Belgium three days later. The French have won one of their two matches in the competition so far. </p>
