Pompey\u2019s boss John Mousinho on Saydee, \u201cChristian is an exciting young prospect and arrives here off the back of a successful spell in League One. \u201cHis tally of goals for Shrewsbury was very impressive for someone his age and we believe this is the next step for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel he can really flourish here and he\u2019s an exciting prospect for the future, but can also do some damage now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saydee is a graduate of the Bournemouth Academy and made a couple of appearances for them in the Championship. He also gained experience with spells out on loan at Poole, Weymouth, and Burton before linking up with Steve Cotterill\u2019s Shrews.Saydee struck seven times in 38 games \u2013 including an outing at Fratton Park \u2013 as they finished 12th in the League One standings. He had a brief trial period with Pompey last summer, featuring in friendlies at Havant & Waterlooville and Gosport.<\/p>\n

Though, Saydee was born in England to Liberian parents but is yet to be capped by the at any level despite carrying a British passport.<\/p>\n

He had a social media exchange Mo Sangare following Liberia 2-2 draw against South Africa in March Sangare posted on his Instagram after the match for which both players had pleasant exchanges. \u201cWhat a moment I will never forget this,\u201d Sangare posted.<\/p>\n

Saydee, 20, went on to reply in a typical Liberian way, \u201cDa na small strike.\u201d<\/p>\n

To which the Liberian international responded \u201cla a you saying small soo\u201d<\/p>\n

Saydee who is currently out on loan to Shrewsbury Town from Premier League side Bournemouth then replied, \u201cDamm it\u201d with a laughing emoji.<\/p>\n

Sangare then responded with a message that will be pleasing to everyone Liberian. \u201cU need to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Liberia missed out on the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 qualification after a 2-1 defeat to South Africa at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex on March 28.<\/p>\n
