Yann Kitala is a 28-year-old centre-forward currently at FC Vizela in Liga Portugal 2. Born in Paris, he came through the French academy system — Paris FC, INF Clairefontaine, Olympique Lyonnais — before establishing himself as a Ligue 2 professional at Sochaux and Le Havre. He has 23 career goals across 172 appearances, primarily in Ligue 2. In the 2025-26 season at Vizela, he has made 21 appearances (7 starts), scoring 1 goal in 716 minutes with a Sofascore average of ~6.5.
Physically, he is a 186cm left-footed striker — a profile that traditionally suits target-man or hold-up play roles. However, no Tier 3 video analysis has been conducted. The available Tier 1 data (Sofascore, Transfermarkt) provides basic context: his market value is €210K, contract runs until 2027, and he has 1 cap for DR Congo U17.
The assessment is incomplete. OBI, SII, DMA, SOA, SPI, CLM, CRS, OMS, DYN, CRK, CHR, MCS — all 16 Tier 3 metrics — have zero events. A meaningful evaluation requires watching a minimum of 5 full matches (per Empire FGA protocol) to observe his off-ball movement, sprint intensity, decision-making, and character.
Empire FGA Verdict
Placeholder — no assessment possible without video. At 28 years old, Kitala is at a career stage where Tier 3 metrics would determine whether he is a solid Liga Portugal 2 striker or someone capable of stepping up. To progress this card, submit 5 full match videos (balanced opposition: ≥2 top-third, ≥1 away, ≥1 losing context) and complete the OBI + SII + 11 metric protocol.
