F. KESSIÉ
Midfielder · Barcelona
“A driving box-to-box midfielder with a real striker’s edge.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
F. Kessié remains a prime box-to-box midfielder, with recent form at Al-Ahli Jeddah showing the range and reliability that keep him valuable. A discount for league level still holds that valuation down.

In GoalPost’s boxToBox read, he is at his best carrying pressure, arriving late into dangerous areas, and making his presence felt with sharp, clinical finishing from midfield.
