Manu Koné is a physically imposing box-to-box midfielder now at Roma in Serie A after making his name at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

A France international, he has continued to build on the promise he showed in the Bundesliga since his move to Italy.
Developed through Toulouse's academy before establishing himself at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Capped by the France national team.
