Club career

Born in Paris, Andy Élysée Logbo joined the Le Havre AC academy in 2017 from CFFP.[2][3][4]

He became a regular golscorer with the under-19s by the 2021–22 season—most notably playing a key role in his team's beating of Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe Gambardella—,[2][5] whilst also making his debut with the reserve team, in September 2021, during a 0–0 National 3 draw against Cherbourg.[3][6]

He signed his first professional contract with the club on the summer 2022,[7][8] after he had been announced as a potential Liverpool signing, having previously visited their training facilities.[2][9][10] He was then part of a very youthful first team squad under Luka Elsner—including the likes of Steve Ngoura, Simon Ebonog, Yoni Gomis and Antoine Joujou—, that would eventually play for the top Ligue 2 spot.[11]

Despite facing injury issues during the 2022-23 season, he kept on playing for the reserve, scoring his first goal for the team in February 2023, opening the socre during a 3–0 win against the club that saw him make his debut the previous season.[12][13]

Logbo made his professional debut for Le Havre on the 22 May 2023, coming on as a substitute for Quentin Cornette in the last 20 minutes of a 2–0 home loss to Valenciennes, as his club was still trying to consolidate its status as league leader.[14][15]

International career

Logbo is eligible for both French and Ivorian national teams.[2][8][9]

Style of play

Logbo is described as a physically strong centre-forward, good at winning and protecting the ball, creating many goal chances and also showing abilities to attack the debt of the field.[2][3]

His profile earned him early comparison to Romelu Lukaku, as a youth player.[2][9][10]
