Serhou Yadaly Guirassy [note 1] (born 12 March 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart. Born in France, he plays for the Guinea national team.
Guirassy started his career playing for Montargis, Amilly and Laval. [5]
In July 2015, Guirassy joined Lille from Laval, signing a four-year contract. The transfer fee was reported to be around €1 million. [6] [7]
Guirassy joined 1. FC Köln in July 2016, signing a five-year contract. [8] [9] Soon after arriving at Köln, he underwent meniscus surgery. Later in the first half of the 2016–17 season, muscular problems kept him out of action. [10] He made his Bundesliga debut on matchday 26 on 1 April 2017, in a 2–1 defeat against Hamburger SV. [10] [11] Days later, he was again kept from playing by muscular issues. Towards the end of the season, Guirassy nursed an inflammation of the pubic bone joint. [10]
In his second season, he scored his first goal in a 2–1 away defeat against Bayer Levekusen on 28 October 2017. [12] Five days later, he scored his first goal in the Europa League in a 5–2 victory over BATE Borisov. [13] Later that month, he scored the only goal in a 1–0 win against Arsenal in the same tournament. [14] Eventually, 1. FC Köln finished last in the league to be relegated, with Guirassy being their top scorer in all competitions. [12]
In January 2019, he was loaned to Amiens until the end of the season. [15] Amiens exercised an option and bought the rights for Guirassy for the upcoming season. Transfer fees were reported to be about 5 to 6 million Euros. [16] Amiens later took advantage of the option and turned the deal permanent. [17]
On 15 February 2020, he scored a brace in a 4–4 draw against Paris Saint-Germain, with his second goal equalized the match in the stoppage time. [18] However, Amiens were relegated while being at 19th position, when the league was suspended prematurely following the outbreak of COVID-19 in France. [19]
On 27 August 2020, Guirassy joined Ligue 1 side Rennes on a five-year deal. [20] He scored his first two goals for the club in the same match, a 4–2 league win against Nîmes. [21] On 20 October 2020, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 1–1 draw against Krasnodar in the 2020–21 season, [22] which was also his club's first ever goal in the competition. [12] On 20 March 2022, he scored his first career hat-trick in a 6–1 thrashing of FC Metz. [23]
On 1 September 2022, Guirassy joined Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart on loan for the 2022–23 season. [24] On 31 May 2023, the club announced that they had activated the option to make the move permanent, signing a three-year contract. [25]
In the 2023–24 season, Guirassy scored ten goals in the first five matches, including his first Bundesliga hat-trick which came against Mainz, to equal a previous record set by Robert Lewandowski in 2020–21. [12] He also set the Bundesliga record for most goals by a player in the first seven matches of a season by scoring a hat-trick within 15 minutes in a 3–1 win against Wolfsburg. This set the record at 13 goals, overtaking Robert Lewandowski's record of 11 in both 2019–20 and 2020–21. [26] After scoring his 14th goal of the season in an away match against Union Berlin, he was substituted after 30 minutes of play due to a hamstring injury. [27] He later missed two league matches, [28] before he managed to score a penalty to secure a 2–1 victory over Borussia Dortmund, and to reach 15 goals in his first nine matches of the season. [29]
Guirassy was a youth international for France. [30] However, he decided to represent the home country of his parents, the Republic of Guinea, at senior level. He debuted in the Guinea national team at a friendly 0–0 tie against South Africa on 25 March 2022, held in Kortrijk, Belgium. [31]
In December 2023, he was named in the Guinean squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. [32]
