Stephan Zagadou

Key strength: Aerial dominance

Defensive anchor

At just 17 years old, Stephan Zagadou is already making waves in the heart of Le Havre AC's defense. While his club sits in 13th position in the table, the young French centre-back represents one of their brightest prospects for the future. Despite his tender age, Zagadou has already contributed 1 goal from 3 appearances—an impressive attacking return for a defensive anchor who thrives on aerial dominance. His 245 minutes of senior football speak to the faith being placed in a player still finding his feet at the professional level. Playing alongside more established teammates like Issa Soumaré and Godson Kyeremeh on the wings, Zagadou brings a composed physical presence to a backline navigating mid-table obscurity. Though his overall rating of 43 reflects his developmental stage, his physical (55) and defending (55) attributes already hint at a commanding presence in the making. With Le Havre fighting to climb the standings, Zagadou's emergence as a reliable defensive option—complete with that eye-catching goal—offers genuine hope that the club's next generation can bridge the gap between relegation battles and genuine contention.
