Combative midfielder
Koné has been causing ripples in the Bundesliga through his standout performances for Die Fohlen this season.
Standing at an imposing 6’1″, Koné combines his physical stature with remarkable speed and agility, enabling him to cover substantial ground on the pitch. This versatility allows him to make a significant impact both defensively and offensively.
Koné exhibits an assertive playing style, demonstrating fearlessness in executing tackles and a willingness to put his body on the line for the team. Noteworthy is his adeptness as a ball passer, coupled with an excellent work ethic. He manages 2.1 tackles and averages 87.7% passing accuracy, as per whoscored.
Particularly exciting are his capabilities in possession retention which are adept qualities Ange Postecoglou demands from his side.
In comparison to his peers, Koné stands out favorably, with potential areas for improvement likely addressable through coaching and experience.
As the transfer market approaches, speculations connect Koné with a potential move away from Germany, and Tottenham emerges as an interested party. The alignment of his abilities with Tottenham’s dynamic playing style suggests Koné could be eyed as a fitting replacement in midfield, especially when Bissouma departs for the African Cup of Nations
