Idrissa Sylla is a Guinean international football player who plays for Anderlecht in Belgian Pro League.[2] He is also referred to as Waddle due to a similar style of play to Chris Waddle. As a child Idrissa had posters of David Hirst on his wall and named his dog 'John' in honour of his favourite player John Sheridan.[3]
Club career
He was the joint top scorer for Le Mans during the 2011-2012 Ligue 2 season, along with Idir Ouali, scoring 9 league goals.[4]
In August 2013, Sylla joined Belgian team Zulte Waregem with a two-years contract, following Le Mans' fall in the French lower divisions. He was transferred for an estimated fee of €150.000.[5][6]
International career
He made his debut versus Cameroon in May 2012.[7]
