Simon Adingra

Key strength: Pace and dribbling

Wide creator

In 7th place and finding their rhythm with form reading DDLWW, AS Monaco are leaning on their dynamic wide threats to push up the Ligue 1 table. Among them, 23-year-old Ivorian left winger Simon Adingra is quietly building a case for more prominence. Valued at a substantial €30 million, Adingra has accumulated 20 appearances this season, clocking over 1,000 minutes of action and contributing 3 goals and 1 assist. His blend of 66-rated pace and composed 68 shooting makes him a dangerous outlet on the flank, capable of stretching defenses and converting chances with maturity beyond his years. What's perhaps most impressive is his discipline—zero cards across 1,078 minutes reflects a tactical intelligence that endears him to the coaching staff. As Monaco chase European qualification, Adingra operates alongside quality midfield operators like Denis Zakaria and Aleksandr Golovin. The challenge for the young winger is transforming his sporadic contributions into the consistent match-winning displays his €30m valuation suggests he's capable of delivering.
