In his first statements as a reinforcement for FC Porto, Seko Fofana expressed being “delighted” with this new step in his career and reveals that he has already spoken with Francesco Farioli, a coach he knows from his time in the French league. Arriving in Invicta on loan from the French team Rennes, the Ivorian midfielder, now number 42 for the Dragons, describes himself as a player “physically strong” and “technically gifted.”

A notable European journey“It is a pleasure to join this historic club that is internationally recognized for its success. I am delighted to be here with my family. I know the club will welcome me well and I feel that I will be able to showcase my talent here.”

Regarding the slogan ‘La Famiglia Portista’…“This slogan reflects the hard work that is necessary to achieve positive results and also tells us that we can never be satisfied with what we have already achieved.
