Sekou Koita: FM2020 Wonderkid Review
Sekou Koita is one of the best Malian wonderkids in the game. He is a good composed striker who is accurate in front of goal.
In the auto generated save, Koita was not given many opportunities at Salzburg which had massively stagnated his growth. He finally moved to Stram Graz on a free transfer and has been very good since joining the club. However, his attributes and market value have not grown at all because of his lack of chances. He should definitely develop better under a human manager.
His average ratings have also taken a plunge due to him rotting on the reserves of Salzburg.
