Goduine Koyalipou

Key strength: Adaptability

Versatile player

In the shadows of Levante UD's relegation battle, where they sit precariously in 19th position, Goduine Koyalipou represents the quiet graft of survival football. The 25-year-old Central African striker has managed 2 goals across 16 appearances this season, modest numbers that belie his true value to the team. Operating primarily as a target man, Koyalipou's €2.5 million valuation reflects not his goal return but his crucial link-up play—a skillset Levante desperately needs to break out of their current spiral. With just 487 minutes on the pitch, the forward competes for playing time with higher-rated teammate Iván Romero (70 rating), yet his unique hold-up ability offers a different dimension against deep-sitting defenses. While his shooting (57) and pace (55) won't terrorize elite defenders, Koyalipou's willingness to battle—accumulating only one yellow card across a turbulent season—speaks to the discipline required at the bottom of the table. For Levante, he represents hope that survival might come through collective grit rather than individual brilliance.
