Young Premier League Player Surfaces
Social media users circulated doubts about Ivorian player Malick Yalcoui's age, who is 20 years old, after he scored his first goal in the English Premier League with Brighton. They noted his appearance, especially his early baldness. AS Monaco, Yalcoui's original club, responded by posting archival photos showing his development and training since joining the club's academy in 2018 until now, emphasizing that the archive illustrates his growth and athletic progress. The player was raised in Ivory Coast and began his career at the Sable Aboe Academy before moving to Europe, where he played for Gothenburg in Sweden before joining Brighton in 2024 for €7 million. He had previously been loaned to Austrian and Welsh clubs. The goal he scored in the match against Chelsea (which Brighton lost 3-4) was his first in the Premier League. His true age remains a matter of doubt, but he is an emerging young player developing rapidly. The club confirms that his developmental journey is clearly documented through the archival footage.
