Biography
Franck Yannick Kessié (born 19 December 1996) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A club Atalanta and captains the Ivory Coast national team.

In 2022, he joined Barcelona, clinching titles in La Liga and Supercopa de España, before his transfer to Al-Ahli in 2023.
