Overview
Charly Soualio Keïta, born 16 June 1999 in Yopougon with French-Ivorian dual citizenship, is a 1.92 m striker. After Pau, Sedan, Beerschot (Belgian second-tier champion) and Amed Sportif, he joined IMT on a free in September 2025.
2025-26: 0 goals, 1 assist in 558 minutes (6.44). The 2026-27 start sends a different signal: 1 goal in 2 games at a 7.59 average.
The career pattern is clear: the frame always drew interest, the goal output never filled it (3 in 28 at Sedan, 6 in 53 at Beerschot). The file’s question is whether that pattern changes at 27.

Assessment
| Strengths | Development Areas |
|---|---|
| 1.92 m target frame — wall-play potential | Career goal rate low at every stop |
| Adaptation proven in four countries | Goalless 2025-26 (558 min) |
| Started 2026-27 with a goal — a form signal | 27 — pattern-change odds shrinking |
Verdict
The career-long gap between frame and goal output has not closed; a bright 2026-27 start alone is not proof of change.
5+ goals by the winter reopen the file for clubs seeking a physical target man.
