Pape Habib Guèye

Pape Habib Guèye is Kasimpasa’s Silver-tier Engine. The Senegalese forward has taken the long road from Ziguinchor via Norway, Belgium and Scotland to the Turkish top flight, collecting four trophies along the way. That honours list underlines a player familiar with pressure, cup nights and high-noise atmospheres.

This season is all about the miles he covers. Eighteen appearances and 1382 minutes tell the story of a striker trusted to lead the line and do the heavy running. With 5 goals on the board he backs up his SILVER BOOT tag, but his standout trait is his Workrate: chasing centre-backs, attacking second balls and repeatedly stretching defences with runs in behind. His form line shows a quiet spell with no goals or assists in his last five outings, yet his season ability sits above his recent form, pointing to a player in a slump rather than one short on tools.

The stakes around him are rising. A market value of €1M on an upward trend reflects belief that this Engine forward still has another gear to find. If he aligns end product with his existing Intensity profile, Kasimpasa gain a centrepiece for crunch matches and big-club tests.
