Scouting Report & Player Insights
Fodé Ballo-Touré is a Franco-Senegalese left-back known for his raw pace and overlapping energy down the flank, traits that once earned him a move to AC Milan. His time in Italy was hampered by defensive lapses and injuries, and after a difficult spell in England he has returned to Ligue 1 with Metz looking to rebuild momentum. He remains an athletic, willing outlet going forward but needs to tighten his positional discipline defensively.
Product of the AS Monaco academy who moved to Lille before joining AC Milan in 2021.
Won the Serie A title with AC Milan in the 2021-22 season.
Capped by France at youth international level before later representing Senegal.
