Steve Mounié

Steve Mounié is Alanyaspor’s Bronze Engine. At 32, with a journey from France to England and Germany before landing in Turkey, he brings the feel of a well-travelled target man. No trophies on the shelf, but plenty of battles in both boxes and a clear sense of what his role is meant to be.

This campaign is all about Workrate. Twelve outings, just 275 minutes, yet whenever he is on the pitch the centre-backs know they are in a contest. His top Workrate shows in constant duels, pressing and willingness to chase lost causes. One goal and no assists in that spell underline the reality: he is not turning effort into end product often enough. The gap between his stable season level and very low recent form says he is going through a quiet spell rather than in decline. The engine is there, the timing in the box is what needs sharpening.

Market-wise, the picture is clear. Valued around €2M with a downward trend, he is in the veteran bracket where reputation no longer protects you. For Mounié, the stakes are simple: turn that graft into goals in crunch matches, or accept life as a specialist squad option.
