French-Guinean sensation Serhou Guirassy sparks European football frenzy with remarkable goal-scoring spree

Posted : 28 December 2023

At the youthful age of 27, French-Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy has emerged as a football sensation, propelling Stuttgart to third place in Germany with an astounding 17 goals in just 14 games. His remarkable talent, combined with a humorously low €17.5 million release clause, positions him as a coveted asset in the football market, and speculation abounds regarding potential suitors, with a resolution possibly materializing as early as January.

Harry Kane, renowned as one of the premier strikers, finds himself in peak condition, excelling in his debut Bundesliga season with Bayern Munich. Leading the league's scorers with an impressive 21 goals in 15 games, Kane faces unexpected competition from Guirassy, who matches his goal-scoring prowess with a goal every 63 minutes on the pitch. The 27-year-old's meteoric rise saw Stuttgart secure third place, surpassing esteemed teams like RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund, and clinch a quarter-finals spot in the cup, a remarkable achievement considering their promotion/relegation play-offs ordeal last season.

Guirassy’s goal-scoring spree, including a Bundesliga record-breaking 13 goals in the first seven matches, elevated Stuttgart's standing. Despite a setback due to injury, Guirassy’s return against Dortmund proved pivotal, with his goal securing a 2-1 victory. While he has slightly eased his pace, accumulating 17 goals in 14 league games (second only to Kane), his impact is evident. His partnership with Dennis Emmanuel has proven fruitful, with Dennis Emmanuel contributing nine goals and two assists in 13 league appearances.

As the transfer market heats up, Girassy's exceptional abilities and a seemingly modest release clause of €17.5 million have made him a sought-after prospect. Reports suggest Manchester United's interest, while Girassy, acknowledging the allure of the Premier League, remains open to possibilities. Stuttgart's coach, Sebastian Hans, expressed a desire for Guirassy’s to stay, but uncertainties persist in the unpredictable world of football transfers.

However, a looming challenge for Girassy team arises as he heads to the African Championship on January 13, leaving Stuttgart to navigate matches without their star player. Having chosen to represent Guinea, his parents' homeland, Girassy international contributions further elevate his profile.

Girassy journey from relative obscurity to football stardom involves standout seasons with Rennes and an impactful loan spell with Stuttgart in 2022. Stuttgart's subsequent acquisition for nine million euros, their costliest in four years, now appears a bargain. As the football world awaits the next chapter, the question remains: which club will secure Girassy services for what might prove to be a paltry sum? The anticipation builds, and only time will reveal the answer.
