Ivorian striker Kouadio Yann Kouakou linked with Indian club FC Goa
French-Ivorian striker Kouadio Yann Kouakou is being linked with a move from North Macedonian side Brera Strumica to Indian Super League club FC Goa.

The 26-year-old centre-forward, currently listed with a market value of €50,000, is the subject of transfer speculation on 2 March 2026, with the probability of any deal rated as unclear.

There is no public information on the length of his contract in North Macedonia, leaving open the possibility that he could become a free agent in the near future.

Kouakou, who plays as a right-footed centre-forward, joined Brera Strumica from Europa Point FC in Gibraltar on 29 January 2026.

His rise in valuation has been notable, climbing from €10,000 at Andorran side Penya Encarnada d’Andorra in November 2022 to €50,000 at Europa Point by November 2025, before his most recent move to North Macedonia.

Born on 17 August 1999 in Treichville and standing at 1.88m, Kouakou holds Malawian and French nationality.

His career has been distinctly nomadic across European lower leagues, with spells at SD Huesca’s youth and B sides in Spain, Red Star FC B in France, LZS Starowice Dolne in Poland, Penya Encarnada in Andorra, FCD LMM Montemiletto in Italy, Kiruna FF in Sweden, CSU Alba Iulia in Romania and Europa Point in Gibraltar before arriving at Brera Strumica.

The forward is registered with Brera Strumica in the Prva liga and wears the number 25 shirt. No detailed recent match data, such as opponents, dates, scorelines or individual performance statistics, is available in the current records, making it difficult to gauge his immediate form ahead of any potential move.

With interest from FC Goa emerging from the Indian Super League, a transfer to India would mark a new continent and another dramatic step in a career already defined by frequent moves, and could prove pivotal in determining his long-term profile and prospects if it materialises.
