Original: Laurent Mendy interview: The late bloomer who went from £100 per week to playing in Europe https://www. nytimes.com/athl
The Athletic has published an interview with Laurent Mendy, a late-blooming footballer who five years ago was earning about £100 a week, couch-surfing and working odd jobs in non-league football. He now plays for Hearts, who compete in European competition. The piece charts his unlikely rise and the resilience behind it.
Why now: The interview's rags-to-riches story of a late bloomer reaching European football with Hearts is drawing attention.
