Koffi Kouao

Koffi Kouao is FC Metz’s Bronze Creator, having established himself in the squad since his arrival from Vizela in 2022. At 28, the Ivorian full-back is building his body of work in France, providing a reliable presence on the flank for a side reliant on his experience and tactical discipline.

Kouao has emerged as a hybrid threat this season, blending creative instincts with an engine-like work rate. Across 16 appearances and 1,382 minutes of action, he is currently on an upward trajectory, evidenced by a goal and an assist in his last five outings. While officially designated as a SQUAD PLAYER, his contribution is vital; he uses a standout Dribbling score of 79 to navigate tight spaces and transition play forward effectively. His current form rating of 100 significantly outstrips his baseline season ability of 43, marking this as the most clinical and consistent stretch of his Metz career to date.

With his market value rising toward the €2M mark, Kouao's stock has never been higher. As Metz navigates the Stakes of the campaign, his reliability and peak physical condition make him a cornerstone of their tactical setup through his contract expiry in 2026.
