The energy that Yao Senaya supplies in the Togo side is one of the reasons why they will be competing in their first-ever World Cup finals this summer.

Senaya was a key member of Togo's qualifying campaign, playing in all but one of their games and scoring twice.

The 21-year-old's buccaneering runs on the right flank provide a key source of attacking threat for the Hawks and was one of the few eye-catching performers in Togo's failed African Cup of Nations campaign.

One of his nation's more distinctive players, sporting a bizarrely-styled blond patch on the top of his head, Senaya's tenacity and attitude is sure to win many admirers in Germany.
