Ivory Coast: Scorer against Chelsea, can Malick Yalcouyé be the surprise of Hervé Renard's first list?

Malick Yalcouyé scored a goal in his first start of the season with Brighton against Chelsea, narrowing the deficit to 3-1. At just 20 years old, he is seen as a great hope for Ivorian football but has never been called up to the senior Elephants team. Hervé Renard, who will soon reveal his list for the 2027 AFCON qualifiers, may be tempted to trust this young talent despite the competition from more experienced players.
