Chonburi FC are being linked with a move for Brera Strumica centre-forward Yann Kouakou as the Thai League side weigh up a deal for the Franco-Malawian attacker.
The 26-year-old, who is valued at around €50,000 on Transfermarkt, is currently on the books of North Macedonian top-flight club Brera Strumica, where he wears the number 25 shirt and operates primarily as a central striker. The speculation, listed with an unspecified probability, places Chonburi as potential suitors as they look to bolster their attacking options.
Kouakou’s contract situation at Brera Strumica is unclear, with no expiry date recorded, raising the prospect that he could become a free agent or be available at a relatively low fee if any deal progresses. Transfer discussions have been framed around his modest market value, which would fit a budget-conscious move into the Thai League.
Born on 17 August 1999 in Treichville, the 1.88m forward is right-footed and is registered with dual nationality for Malawi and France. He is listed in the attacking department as an out‑and‑out centre-forward, providing a physical presence at the top end of the pitch for AP Brera Strumica in the Macedonian Prva Liga.
No official offer has been reported and there is no confirmed agreement between the clubs, with the probability of a move marked only as “?”. There are also no formal details of his international career or previous club history in the current data.
With his profile still developing in European football and his contract status not publicly defined, a switch to Chonburi – whether via transfer or as a future free agent – would represent a significant change of direction in Kouakou’s career and could provide a platform to enhance his reputation in a growing Asian league if the move materialises.
