Checking against the GA criteria[edit]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
The lead needs to be expanded to summarise all of the article. At the moment it doesn't comply per WP:LEAD

"He spent six years with Lattoise before signing with Ligue 1 side Toulouse in 2014." - this needs a citation

"when a group of armed gunmen opened fire in a Cappuccino restaurant" - I don't think this needs italicising
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
No original research found.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I'll leave this on hold until the lead can be expanded to summarise the article. Otherwise everything is OK. JAGUAR 18:20, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jaguar, thank you for the review! I have expanded the lede as requested. Let me know if there are any other issues that pop up. Cheers, Liam E. Bekker (talk) 22:28, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for addressing all of the issues! Most importantly the lead has been expanded to a suitable length so I think this should be good to go now.
