Serhou Guirassy

Serhou Yadaly Guirassy (born 12 March 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. Born in France, he plays for the Guinea national team.

Guirassy began his career at Laval, before playing for Lille, 1. FC Köln, Amiens and Rennes. He later joined VfB Stuttgart, where he set a club record by scoring 28 goals in the 2023–24 season. In 2024, he moved to Borussia Dortmund, where he became their top scorer in a single Champions League campaign with 13 goals in 2024–25.

Guirassy was born in Arles, France, to Guinean parents.

Guirassy started his career playing for Montargis, Amilly and Laval.

In July 2015, Guirassy joined Lille from Laval, signing a four-year contract. The transfer fee was reported to be around €1 million.

Guirassy joined 1. FC Köln in July 2016, signing a five-year contract. Soon after arriving at Köln, he underwent meniscus surgery. Later in the first half of the 2016–17 season, muscular problems kept him out of action. He made his Bundesliga debut on matchday 26 on 1 April 2017, in a 2–1 defeat against Hamburger SV. Days later, he was again kept from playing by muscular issues. Towards the end of the season, Guirassy nursed an inflammation of the pubic bone joint.

In his second season, he scored his first goal in a 2–1 away defeat against Bayer Levekusen on 28 October 2017. Five days later, he scored his first goal in the Europa League in a 5–2 victory over BATE Borisov. Later that month, he scored the only goal in a 1–0 win against Arsenal in the same tournament. Eventually, 1. FC Köln finished last in the league to be relegated, with Guirassy being their top scorer in all competitions.

In January 2019, he was loaned to Amiens until the end of the season. Amiens exercised an option and bought the rights for Guirassy for the upcoming season. Transfer fees were reported to be about 5 to 6 million Euros. Amiens later took advantage of the option and turned the deal permanent.
