At 21, Ivorian striker Keasse Bah is coming off a huge season in Switzerland. The result: Saint-Étienne and Borussia Mönchengladbach are reportedly battling to sign him.
African football may have one of its next big things. With 8 goals and 4 assists in 39 games for Stade Lausanne-Ouchy in the Swiss second tier, Keasse Bah has seen his stock soar. A centre-forward who can also play out wide, quick and powerful (1.83m), the Ivorian — who once turned out for Ararat Yerevan in Armenia — has built a profile that appeals well beyond Switzerland.
And the market is heating up. According to Foot Mercato and Santi Aouna, ASSE and Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach are reportedly leading the race to sign him this summer. Hamburg, Angers and Lorient have also been linked. Valued at 700,000 euros by Transfermarkt and under contract until 2028, the young Ivorian could nonetheless leave for far more. One thing is certain: Keasse Bah is about to step up.
