Footballer training with the French (4)

I believe the answer is:

pele

(Other definitions for pele that I've seen before include "Former Brazilian footballer" , "Brazilian said to be the best footballer ever" , "Noted Brazilian footballer" , "Brazilian footballer of renown" , "Brazil's hero" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
