Yahia Fofana

Yahia Fofana is a French-born goalkeeper of Guinean descent who has chosen to represent France — though his profile lists him as French nationality, making his international allegiance straightforward. Developed at Le Havre and then Angers in Ligue 1, he is now at Rizespor in the Turkish top flight. At 25, he is at the stage where consistent first-team football matters most, and the Turkish league provides regular high-pressure minutes. His Ligue 1 background gives him a solid technical foundation, but breaking into the French national team picture — with Mike Maignan firmly established — means his pathway to a major tournament may depend on a club move that raises his profile significantly.
