Starting against Al-Ettifaq on Wednesday in the Saudi Pro League, Franck Kessié played his 100th match in Al-Ahli Saudi colors.

The Ivorian midfielder contributed to his team's emphatic 4-0 victory, which propelled them to second place in the standings with 43 points.

The club, which also features Edouard Mendy and Riyad Mahrez in its ranks, celebrated the former FC Barcelona and AC Milan midfielder for reaching this symbolic milestone with the Jeddah-based side.

However, the 29-year-old midfielder has not won over everyone and is reportedly being pushed toward the exit, with just six months remaining on his contract.

Some Al-Ahli Saudi fans have started the hashtag #FrankKessieOut on social media, demanding the departure of the Elephant to make room for a more impactful foreign player.
