After 4 appearances in Atalanta's colors, the Elephants captain found the breakthrough and opened the scoring.

He follows up after a successful international break

The 29-year-old midfielder is following up after an outstanding international break. The former FC Barcelona and AC Milan player impressed with the Elephants in the first two rounds of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, scoring and providing an assist against Ghana (2-0) in Bouaké.

Arriving at the end of August on a free transfer after his contract with Al-Ahli, Franck Kessié had ended, he remains just as influential and is already establishing himself as a leader in the midfield of La Dea.
