“Kouan to Cosenza, this is the right time”, is the headline Southern Gazette.
The dynamic Ivorian, 25 years old, will be released from Perugia. He had already been close to the Sila people and in the past worked with Alvini. The imminent arrival comes as a buffer to Voca and Zuccon’s farewells in midfield.
Delvecchio and Ursino’s first transfer hit will be Christian Kouan. The Ivorian, 25 years old on December 20th, is close to Cosenza. The midfielder will be released from Perugia at the end of this season. The opportunity convinced the sporting director and general manager to flock to him, giving Alvini an element he knows well, having already trained him in the past, in the red and white. The player, who in the last Serie C championship scored two goals in 32 league games and another three appearances in the playoffs, will soon become the first addition to the new cycle. His name had been linked to the Sila team in several transfer sessions but in the end he always remained at Perugia, the club with which he concluded his youth career and subsequently turned professional, thus far collecting 178 matches between B, C and Coppa Italia (21 total goals). With the move to the banks of the Crati, Kouan will have the opportunity to compete in a context different from the Umbrian one.
His previous relationship with Alvini gave the red and whites qualification for the Serie B playoffs. In that case he took the field on 35 occasions, scoring 5 goals, his personal best in recent years. With Fucecchio’s coach he played both the role of central midfielder and that of attacking midfielder; a role that was tailored for him by Alvini himself.
He is an extremely dynamic player. By virtue of this peculiarity it is an important piece in the pressing phase and more generally when not in possession of the ball. To these qualities, he also combines a decent ability to insert himself. His imminent arrival comes as a buffer to the farewells of Idriz Voca and Federico Zuccon […].
