Idjessi Metsoko, born 14 March 2002 in France, is a 22-year-old football forward primarily plying his trade as a striker for Slovan Bratislava. A significant presence on the field, Metsoko stands at 6ft 1in (1.86m) and weighs in at 12st 3lb (78kg). His chosen jersey is number 93.
Valued at roughly £635,000 – according to Transfermarkt, the end of his contract with Slovan Bratislava looms not too distantly in the future, set to expire on 30 June 2025.
Metsoko began his football journey in France, joining Auxerre as a trainee in July 2018. This laid the foundation for his later moves across Europe. From France's top league, Metsoko was subsequently transferred to Vyskov in the Czech Lower Divisions, an operation shrouded in discretion without the disclosure of fees.
Metsoko progressed from the Czech Lower Divisions, signing with Viktoria Plzen of the First League in Czech Republic in February 2024. During his debut season (2023 - 2024) at Viktoria Plzen, Metsoko made seven first team appearances and netted two goals in league matches. In the current season (2024 - 2025), he has so far made just the one appearance with Viktoria Plzen's first team.
His current tenure, as of August 2024, is with Slovan Bratislava in the Slovak First Football League, entailing a loan transfer from Viktoria Plzen. This ongoing season of 2024 - 2025 has seen Metsoko make a solid six first team appearances and score one league goal.
Finally, it's worth noting Metsoko's participation in the Champions League Qualifiers (2024 - 2025) and the Champions League itself for Slovan Bratislava, where he has so far achieved two and one appearances respectively, both times as a substitute.
