🐣 This week's wonderkid: Dayann Methalie 🇫🇷

As every week, OneFootball is shining the spotlight on a young talent on the rise. This Friday, the focus is on a new prodigy who has set Ligue 1 alight this season.

Already highly impressive this season, Dayann Methalie is finishing the campaign at full speed, notably with two goals in his last two matches against Strasbourg and Lyon.

The Toulouse left-back is an atypical profile among full-backs. Standing at 1.88m and blessed with extraordinary physical attributes, the Toulouse native is a real cannonball down the left flank.

A modern full-back thanks to his power and ability to beat his marker with the dribble, he looks like a profile somewhere between Nuno Mendes and Denzel Dumfries.

Sometimes carried away by his enthusiasm, the full-back often plays close to the limit, as seen in this highly controversial challenge on Endrick this Sunday. Still, once he gets going, the 20-year-old is extremely difficult to stop.

Elusive and powerful in duels, Methalie is establishing himself as one of Ligue 1’s breakout stars and a name to watch ahead of the summer transfer window. Transfermarkt already values him at €12 million.

Called up for the first time to the France U21 squad last October, the Toulouse full-back could also be a name to watch for Les Bleus in the coming years.
