Cyriaque Irié, among the most combative U19 players in Europe
At just 19 years old, Cyriaque Irié is already establishing himself as one of the most impactful young talents in European football. Donning the ESTAC jersey in Ligue 2, the Burkinabé right winger delivered a standout season, notching 8 goals and 3 assists in 38 appearances across all competitions.
But beyond his attacking stats, it’s his physical presence that truly impresses. According to data from DataMB, Cyriaque Irié ranks in the top 5 U19 players for most duels won this season, with a total of 358 successful challenges. This figure highlights his commitment, his strength in one-on-one situations, and his ability to make the difference along the flank.
Tied to Troyes until June 2029, the Burkina Faso native has recently joined SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga. This leap to the German top flight could mark a new chapter in the meteoric rise of this young talent.
