Pictures of Paul Pogba and Riyad Mahrez loom large at the Le Harve training centre in the port city of Northern France. It's where countless French football stars have embarked on a journey that would take them to the top of the game - and Hamilton Accies striker John-Pierre Tiehi hopes he can follow in his countrymen's footsteps.

Coming through at Le Harve - where his father Joel, a fellow striker, spent the early part of his career - eight-year-old Tiehi cut his teeth at the academy, which has also produced former Rangers star Jean-Alain Boumsong, ex-PSG star Lassana Diarra and Marseille midfielder Dimitri Payet.

Now 20 years old, Tiehi is on loan at New Douglas Park from English Premier League side Fulham and aiming to kick-start his senior career after spending the past few years with the youth team at Craven Cottage.

Le Harve remains his home and it is his upbringing there that still inspires him. He said: "I was there from eight years old to 16 when I moved to Fulham so it was a long time. "I still live in Le Harve because my dad played there for seven years and my family and friends are there.
