Now Nathan 'Sneaky' Nayagom will now play in the club's colours as the Ligue 1 giants became the latest to dip their toes in the business of virtual football. Monaco have announced their first foray into eSports by signing competitive FIFA player Nathan 'Sneaky' Nayagom. Sneaky, who's considered among the top four FIFA players in France, will continue to play for Epsilon but will do so wearing Monaco's jersey. 
 
In addition to Sneaky wearing their kit, Monaco claim the partnership “includes plans for sharing content on social networks” to boost each other's exposure. Epsilon had teased the collaboration with “a Champions League club” on Sunday and a press release on Wednesday explained that their shared “history of success” made them “perfect” partners. The French principality club follow hot on the heels of Ligue 1 rivals Paris Saint-Germain, who launched their own eSports team last week with two highly-rated FIFA gamers and an ex-League of Legends player.

"We are delighted to seal this partnership with Epsilon eSports,” Monaco's director of communications, Bruno Skropeta, said in the club's announcement. “[It] will allow us to position ourselves as a key player in this sector in France and Europe. “This opportunity will enable us to offer our fans a new experience. eSport is a very young, fast-growing market and this launch definitely represents a major milestone in the club's digital strategy.”
