Ibrahim Sangare
35-Year-Old
Nottingham Forest
Premier
Dominant defensive midfielder
Sangare has been named in Ivory Coast's World Cup squad and is expected to be the defensive anchor at the base of the midfield throughout the competition.
ANALYSIS
Sangare ended the club season having made 28 Premier League appearances for Nottingham Forest, contributing two goals and two assists across 2,080 minutes in a commanding campaign that has fuelled speculation linking him with bigger clubs, despite the overall difficult campaign for Forest. The midfielder brings exceptional physicality, aerial dominance and pressing intensity that makes him one of the most complete defensive midfielders in the Premier League, and his ability to protect the defense while contributing to the attack gives manager Fae a world-class option in the engine room for the Elephants. Sangare heads into the World Cup as arguably Ivory Coast's most important defensive figure and one of the most physically imposing midfielders in the entire tournament.
