Sébastien Haller is preparing to play in the final of the African Cup of Nations. The Ivorian striker scored the winning goal against the Democratic Republic of Congo (1-0) with a fortunate half-volley.

The center forward trained in Auxerre first rubbed shoulders with young French teams. He notably played in the Under-17 World Cup with the Blues in 2011 alongside Yassine Benzia, Kurt Zouma, and Lionel Mpasi, now Congolese goalkeeper.
