Starting goalie for Ivory Coast
Fofana has been named in Ivory Coast's World Cup squad and is expected to start every fixture as coach Emerse Fae's first choice in goal.
Analysis: Fofana ended the season having played 2,430 minutes for Rizespor in the Turkish Super Lig, establishing himself as a reliable and commanding presence between the posts. The keeper brings the experience and composure needed to lead the Elephants' defensive unit throughout what promises to be a demanding group stage. Fofana heads into the World Cup as the undisputed number one and a key figure in Ivory Coast's defensive setup.
