Issa Soumaré's unfortunate record in Ligue 1

Issa Soumaré/@L'Equipe

Senegalese striker Issa Soumaré, the key man for Le Havre AC, has set an unfortunate record in the current edition of Ligue 1.

The Podor native has squandered 13 clear-cut chances in 24 matches played in France's top flight, averaging 0.6 big chances missed per game.

It’s a dubious record he shares with Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola and RC Strasbourg’s Joaquin Panichelli.

Trained in his homeland at ASC HLM Dakar (2014-2016) and AS Académie Génération Foot (2016-2019), he joined French club US Orléans in 2019. He later had a spell in Belgium with Beerschot VA.

This season, he has scored 6 goals and provided 2 assists for the Normandy club.
