Player Info

Sébastien Haller is an Ivorian international striker whose career is a story of remarkable resilience and elite goal-scoring. Currently at FC Utrecht in the Netherlands, the 31-year-old is best known for his triumphant return to football after a battle with testicular cancer, culminating in AFCON glory. Standing at 190cm, Haller is a complete forward, combining physical strength with technical finesse. His professional journey began at Auxerre in France before a breakthrough at Utrecht first showcased his talents. A successful spell at Eintracht Frankfurt made him a Bundesliga standout, leading to a record transfer to West Ham United. After a period of adaptation in England, he rediscovered his best form at Ajax Amsterdam, where he was devastatingly prolific, including a UEFA Champions League group stage record of scoring in all six matches. His crowning moment came in 2024, scoring the winning goal for Ivory Coast in the Africa Cup of Nations final. Haller's honors include Eredivisie titles with Ajax and the AFCON trophy, but his greatest victory remains his personal health battle, making him an inspirational figure in world football.
