Algerian football club MC Alger has strengthened its roster with the acquisition of Ivorian winger Kipré Zunon, marking their fourth signing from Ivory Coast this transfer window.
Zunon, aged 24, joins MC Alger from FC Azam in Tanzania, where he showcased his prowess with 10 goals and 9 assists.
The Ivorian has committed to a four-year contract with MCA, extending until 2028.
His arrival follows the signings of Zakari Draoui and Toufik Moussaoui earlier this week, demonstrating the club’s ambition to bolster its attacking options for the upcoming season.
MC Alger, recent champions of Algeria and runners-up in the National Cup, suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against CR Belouizdad.
The addition of Zunon aims to enhance their squad depth and competitive edge as they prepare for future domestic and continental campaigns.
Zunon joins fellow Ivorian compatriots Mohamed Zougrana, Youssouf Dao, and Romaric Ouattara in the MC Alger squad.
While Dao and Ouattara are currently sidelined due to injuries, Zougrana made a significant impact during the previous season, highlighting the valuable contributions of Ivorian players to the team’s dynamic.
In light of these acquisitions, MC Alger has also confirmed the departure of midfielder Khalid Dahmani, who struggled to secure regular playing time last season, appearing in only ten matches.
Dahmani, aged 24, arrived at the club from ASO Chlef in 2022 but faced challenges in establishing himself within Mouloudia’s competitive lineup.
The recruitment strategy reflects MC Alger’s proactive approach in reshaping their squad for the challenges ahead.
With a blend of experienced signings and promising talents like Zunon, the club aims to maintain its competitive edge in the Algerian football landscape.
As MC Alger prepares for the upcoming season, the focus remains on integrating new signings into the team structure under the leadership of head coach [insert coach name if available].
The club’s management emphasizes the importance of cohesion and teamwork to achieve their sporting objectives both domestically and potentially in continental competitions.
The arrival of Kipré Zunon signifies a new chapter for MC Alger, where expectations are high for the Ivorian winger to contribute significantly to the team’s attacking prowess and overall performance.
Fans and stakeholders eagerly await the debut of Zunon and his fellow newcomers as they embark on their journey with MC Alger.
With the transfer window ongoing, MC Alger continues to monitor opportunities to strengthen its squad further.
The club remains committed to building a competitive team capable of challenging for honors across various competitions, aiming to uphold its legacy as a formidable force in Algerian football.
