In August 2021 he was selected for the Tournoi de Limoges with the under-18, along the likes of Mohamed-Ali Cho, Lesley Ugochukwu and El Chadaille Bitshiabu.[10][11]

He was later capped with the U18 during a serie of friendly against Algeria, scoring his first goal in that age group during the second game, a 6–0 victory,[12] before finding the net again in the following friendly against Italy, a 3–0 win.[13]
