Mohamed Sylla (born 1 December 1993) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Scottish Premiership club Dundee.
Born in Paris, Sylla began his career with L'Entente SSG, [1] where he made over 100 appearances before signing with English club Oldham Athletic in January 2019. [2] [3] He made his debut on 12 January 2019, in a League match against Forest Green Rovers. [4] He returned to France in June 2020 to sign for Laval. [5]
On 30 October 2021, Sylla joined National League side Aldershot Town, [6] and went onto score on his debut later that day, during a 2–1 away defeat to Barnet. [7] In the 2021–22 season, Sylla made 32 appearances in all competitions for Aldershot, scoring twice. Additionally, he also won the club's player of the year award. [8]
On 4 August 2022, Sylla signed a one-year deal at League Two club Hartlepool United. [9] On 1 January 2023, he scored his first goal for Hartlepool in a 3–3 draw with Harrogate Town. [10] He was dropped from the matchday squad for wins against Grimsby Town and Barrow with manager John Askey claiming that Sylla was not in the right frame of mind to play. [11] It was later reported by the Hartlepool Mail that it was believed Sylla refused to play in the game against Grimsby. [12] Following the win against Barrow which had left Hartlepool relegated, Askey said that several players had been dropped due to their attitude. [11] [13] Despite this, Sylla's contract option was exercised to keep him at the club for a further year, although he failed to return to pre-season training with club. [12]
On 25 August 2023, Sylla joined Scottish Premiership club Dundee on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee. [14] He made his debut two days later off the bench in a league win over Heart of Midlothian. [15] On 28 September, Sylla collapsed during half-time of a league game against Aberdeen and was taken to hospital where he became responsive. [16]
