Youssuf Sylla has been linked with a move from Jagiellonia to fellow Ekstraklasa side Arka Gdynia, according to transfer data compiled on 23 December 2025.
The 23-year-old centre-forward, listed with dual Belgium and Guinea nationality, is the subject of a rumoured switch within Poland’s top flight, with Arka emerging as a potential destination. The latest entry places the probability of the deal as “?”, underlining that negotiations, interest or talks have not yet been clarified publicly and that the move remains at speculation stage rather than an agreed transfer.
Sylla is currently valued at €600,000, a figure that has held steady since his move to Jagiellonia Bialystok and could make him an attainable target for Arka if they decide to strengthen their attack. With no contract start or end dates recorded in the available data, there remains the possibility that his contractual situation could open the door to a relatively low-cost deal or even a future free-agent scenario, depending on developments that have not yet been disclosed.
Born on 19 December 2002 in Grimbergen and standing at 1.91m, Sylla profiles as a traditional centre-forward, operating through the middle and preferring his right foot. His career path has taken him through several European footballing cultures: from youth football at Standard Liège to Torino’s under-17 and under-18 set-ups in Italy, then back to Belgium with Jong Essevee and Zulte Waregem, before stepping through Zébra Élites and Royal Charleroi SC. A loan spell at Willem II in the Netherlands added Eredivisie and Eerste Divisie experience before his current chapter in Poland with Jagiellonia.
With his market value stabilising after previous peaks at Royal Charleroi and Willem II, a move to Arka Gdynia could offer Sylla a fresh platform in the Ekstraklasa; if the transfer materialises, it may prove a pivotal step in shaping both his reputation in Poland and the next phase of his career.
