Yan Diomande's rise has been nothing short of remarkable.

On this latest episode of The Craft, the Ivory Coast-born star sits down with Rog to discuss his football journey—from falling in love with the game in West Africa, to moving to America as a young teen, and navigating his rapid ascent in the professional game. They also discuss his incredible performances for Ivory Coast this summer.
