🌍 Academy Scouting Report

Born in 2008, Guedalia Nsakala possesses a physically anomalous profile for his age group. Standing at a staggering 1.95m, he dominates the central channels of the pitch, operating interchangeably as a powerful Central Midfielder or a ball-playing Centre Back. In the 2025/26 season, he has been a fixture in Yverdon's U18 side (11 matches), using his immense frame to screen the defense and win aerial duels with ease. While his size suggests a pure defensive role, his deployment in midfield highlights a player with the technical ability to drive play forward, reminiscent of a young Patrick Vieira or Amadou Onana profile.

Scout Note: The combination of 1.95m height and midfield mobility at 17 years old is rare. He is a "Spine Player" who dictates the physical tempo of the match.
