Jean Michael Seri Career

Club career

The young Seri wore the 'Galla' in his native Ivory Coast, because he tried to imitate former Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marcelo Gallardo, whose technical skills he admired. Seri joined the Ivorian football academy that was opened in 2001 by Ivorian footballer Cyril Domoraud. In retrospect, Jean is gifted, resourceful, and generous." "He was one step ahead of the others in his youth, thanks to his ball control."

Seri was born in Grand-Béréby, the south-western city of Abidjan, and he began his career as a youth player for Africa Sports d'Abidjan in July 2007. The best clubs on the Ivory Coast competed for his services. Seri began his career as a senior player in January 2010, when he joined ASEC Mimosas, the country's most profitable club, where he needed only one season to prove himself and become one of the best players. Seri is a natural listener and his state of mind is impeccable," raved raved Sébastien Desabre, ASEC Mimosas' head coach, from October 2010 to October 2012, enabling Seri to make steady strides.

Seri joined Primeira Liga club Porto on loan on November 2, 2012, after impressing their scouts. However, Seri was not included in the club's first team, so there was no room for him. He was subsequently required to play for the club's reserve team, scoring once in 19 Segunda Liga games in the first five months of 2013.

Seri joined Paços de Ferreira on a permanent basis and on a free transfer on August 31, 2013, two months after completing his loan period at Porto (the Drages).

In a 3–1 Primeira Liga home victory over Martimo on March 2, 2014, he scored his first competitive goal for Paços de Ferreira in the 54th minute, moving his side away from the relegation zone. Seri's superb range of passing and ability to control the game's pace made him a fan favorite at Paços de Ferreira. The club finished eighth in the 2014-15 Primeira Liga, and Ligue 1 club Nice was able to sign Seri before larger clubs took notice.

Seri officially joined Ligue 1 club Nice on June 11, 2015 for a €1 million transfer fee. Seri's "very likely" arrival was announced on May 27, 2015, the club's transfer window's opening. Seri made his competitive debut for Nice in the 2015–16 Ligue 1 season's first match, losing the entire match to Monaco in 2–1 home loss. Nice defeated Saint-Étienne 4–1 away on Friday, with a 61-44 goal in the 53rd minute, his first competitive goal for the city.

Seri joined Fulham on a four-year contract until 2022, with the option for Fulham to prolong the contract by a further year.

Seri scored his first goal for his new club on August 26th, opening the scoring against Burnley from outside the region. Seri picked the ball up and took one touch around an oncoming defender before curling in a long-range goal into Joe Hart's goal and being named with the Premier League Goal of the Month for August.

Seri joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan agreement, with the option to buy. He will eventually leave Galatasaray and return to Fulham at the end of the season.

Despite being promoted to the Premier League, Seri had been told that after the club's tenure ends in June 2022, he would leave the club at the end of his deal.

Seri made his international debut in a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Sierra Leone on September 6, 2015, playing the entire match in the 0–0 away draw. Seri appeared in three of Ivory Coast's three 2017 Africa Cup of Nations Group C matches. They came in third place in Group C, so they did not qualify for the quarterfinals.

According to Xavier Simons, Chelsea is expected to sign a permanent deal from Hull City for on-loan midfielder Xavier Simons. The 20-year-old starlet, who left the Premier League team on loan in September in the search of regular first team football, has only appeared in five senior appearances for the Tigers so far, including four Championship matches and one FA Cup match. However, the Hull City chiefs have seen enough to want Simons to stay as part of their squad long-term, and have reportedly reached an agreement with Chelsea to keep him away from Stamford Bridge permanently.

Lesson learned! Fulham's targeted approach to recruiting in the Premier League is paying dividends

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 29, 2022
Nottingham Forest fans have been discouraged from returning. If Fulham's 2018-19 campaign has taught us anything, it's because summer spending sprees don't necessarily guarantee Premier League vivability. The Cottagers' transitory status in the top flight has seen them move from yo-yo to and from the Premier League in each of the last five seasons, but the club chiefs appear to have finally found a winning formula. Fulham owner Shahid Khan watched his team suffer instant relegation after investing over £100 million in the summer of 2018.
