“By signing Guéla Doué, we have made an excellent addition to our squad in the right-back position. We can look forward to a top-class new signing who fits perfectly into our squad,” said Bayer 04 managing director sport Simon Rolfes. Leverkusen’s Director of Football, Kim Falkenberg, added: “Guéla is a composed player, aggressive and assertive in challenges, agile, quick and blessed with excellent technique.”
The older brother of France international forward Désiré Doué has made 24 international appearances for the Ivory Coast to date, scoring three goals and providing two assists. “I had two wonderful years at Racing Strasbourg in France. But now I’d like to make the move to the Bundesliga and join a club that has really impressed me during our talks,” revealed the 23-year-old. “The team is talented and has so many good players – I’m absolutely looking forward to playing with these lads.”
