The 25-year-old left-sided player has garnered attention from Eredivisie powerhouses Ajax Amsterdam and PSV Eindhoven, along with Vitesse Arnhem and Willem II, according to reports from Africafoot.
Sylla’s standout performances for SC Cambuur this season, including one goal and four assists in 28 appearances across all competitions, have catapulted him into the spotlight.
