Ismael Kone
23-Year-Old

Ligue 1
Disappointing season in Ligue 1
Kone made 21 Ligue 1 appearances for Marseille and Rennes during the 2024-25 season, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
ANALYSIS
Kone's first season in France was disappointing despite making a good impression during the preseason, including a stunning goal against Sunderland in a friendly. The Canadian underperformed both in terms of play and behavior at Marseille, which led to an early winter loan with a purchase option to Rennes. He showed a better version of himself in Brittany and scored one of his two goals against his parent club in the final game of the 2024-25 season, but reports indicate Rennes will not trigger the clause and he may be forced to find a new club as he is now seen as "undesirable" in Marseille.

ANALYSIS
Kone is putting together a solid season in MLS in which he has started 12 of his 16 appearances, recording one goal on 18 shots, two assists and nine chances created along the way. If Kone does decide to move somewhere, it will likely be a spot where he can feature regularly ahead of Canada's appearance in the 2022 World Cup.
