Odilon Kossounou was a key figure in Xabi Alonso's unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen side that won the Bundesliga in 2023-24, earning a move to Atalanta where he has continued to impress. A powerful, aggressive centre-back with excellent recovery pace, he excels in one-on-one defending and is comfortable stepping into midfield to win the ball. For Côte d'Ivoire he is one of the first names on the teamsheet, a dominant presence who anchors the backline. Still only 25, he is approaching his peak years and is among the continent's finest defenders.
