Wilfried Singo Celebrated as Ligue 1 Team of the Year Standout for AS Monaco

AS Monaco's central defender Wilfried Singo has been recognized for his outstanding performances by being named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year for 2024, an accolade awarded by L’Equipe's journalists. Singo has been instrumental in Monaco's defense, also proving to be a crucial player in offensive set pieces. His formidable presence has significantly contributed to the team’s success throughout the season, making him a standout player in both domestic and international competitions.

Singo's exemplary year was highlighted by his pivotal role in helping Ivory Coast clinch the Africa Cup of Nations. His robust performances, including a critical play in the tournament's final against Nigeria, underpinned his country's victory. Following his international success, Singo continued to impress on the club stage, particularly noted for his remarkable display in Monaco’s high-profile clash against Paris Saint-Germain where he won the majority of his duels and demonstrated both defensive resilience and skillful play.

Beyond national borders, Singo left his mark in the Champions League, notably scoring a spectacular long-range goal against Red Star Belgrade. His consistent defensive efforts coupled with his ability to contribute to the attack underscored a season that saw Monaco finish second in Ligue 1 and secure a spot in the next season's Champions League. Singo, now affectionately dubbed “SinGOAT” by fans, has not only excelled individually but has also lifted his team, earning him a place in the league's elite squad for the first time since Kamil Glik in 2017.
