On Saturday, armed police swooped on his home in the seaside resort and arrested him in front of his tearful parents.
At one stage they had dreams of him becoming a Premiership player after launching his career with Portsmouth, the 2008 FA Cup winners.
But coordinated nationwide raids on Saturday also saw Jeremy Sidney, a 33-year-old friend of Nsaku, blasted to death in front of his pregnant wife and children in Strasbourg, eastern France.
Another gunman called Jeremy Bailly was arrested in the Paris suburb of Torcy as he carried a loaded .22 calibre rifle from a mosque prayer room.
All of the men were said to have been involved in a grenade attack on a Jewish food shop in Paris on September 19th which saw one man injured.
Their aim was to start a ‘war across France’, and to see a wholly Muslim state established in France, said a police source.
Co-ordinated: The anti-terror operation was carried out in several cities around France, notably in Strasbourg where a suspect was fatally wounded
Nsaka, who had spent short loan spells with other English clubs, and also played for Cannes and the Congo youth team, was at one time tipped to become the new Patrick Vieira, the former Arsenal and France World Cup winner.
Speaking from the family home in Cannes, Nsaku’s Christian father, Philip, admitted that his son had become ‘increasingly influenced’ by Sidney and converted to Islam soon after leaving Pompey.
Mr Nsaku said his son had argued furiously with other family members 10 days ago, and it has been a ‘constant battle’ to keep him on the rails.
