Abdoulaye Touré has been named Le Havre’s Player of the Season for 2024–2025, following a commanding campaign that saw the Guinean midfielder become the heartbeat of the Ligue 1 side.
The accolade, awarded based on votes from supporters, was announced by the club on Friday, May 23.
Touré’s consistent performances, leadership on and off the pitch, and vital goals—particularly from the penalty spot—earned him widespread recognition among the fanbase.
“You have voted Abdoulaye Touré Hacman of the Season,” read a statement on the club’s official website, confirming the 30-year-old as the standout performer in a squad that battled hard to secure top-flight survival.
Touré’s influence extended beyond statistics, but the numbers tell a story of their own.
He finished the season with 10 goals—seven of which came from the penalty spot, where he maintained a flawless conversion rate.
Calm under pressure and clinical in execution, his success in these decisive moments proved crucial to Le Havre’s campaign.
Arguably his most significant contribution came late in the season, when he scored the goal that confirmed Le Havre’s place in Ligue 1 for another year.
In that defining moment, Touré once again stepped up when it mattered most, embodying the fighting spirit that endeared him to the fans.
The midfielder’s leadership has also been evident throughout the campaign.
Whether marshalling the midfield or lifting the team during difficult stretches, Touré consistently demonstrated the experience and composure required to navigate a demanding season in France’s top flight.
His performances this year mark a notable evolution in his career.
While known previously as a solid and dependable presence, Touré elevated his game with Le Havre, embracing a more prominent role in attack and thriving under the responsibility.
With his recognition as Player of the Season now secured, Touré’s campaign stands as a reminder of the value of resilience and consistency.
In a year marked by tight margins and fierce competition, it was his blend of precision, leadership, and reliability that helped guide Le Havre through the storm.
As the club looks ahead to the next season, Touré’s impact will serve as both a benchmark and a source of inspiration—proof that a player’s influence can go far beyond the scoresheet.
