Franck Kessié was one of AC Milan's most important players during their 2021-22 Serie A title win, his relentless energy and late runs into the box making him a complete central midfielder. A move to Barcelona never quite worked out, and he has since settled in Saudi Arabia with Al Ahli. For Côte d'Ivoire, Kessié remains a senior figure whose physical presence and experience are valued even if his club career has lost some of its earlier lustre. The 2023 AFCON winner brings leadership and a winning mentality that younger Ivorian players look to in big moments.
