The Elephants will face off against Burundi and Gambia as part of the World Cup 2026 qualifiers.

Trained at FC Metz, the newcomer joined the youth academy of AJ Auxerre in 2021 as a free agent.

After a brief loan spell with Orléans, he returned to AJA again in 2023.

Since then, he has played 50 matches in all competitions, without scoring a single goal but providing two assists.

At 23 years old, the Meudon-born player in France plays as a left-back, although he can also serve in the center of defense.

According to the specialized site transfermarket, his market value is currently estimated at 2 million euros, which is 1 million euros more than it was last October.
