My Take

What draws me to Dennis Appiah is his usefulness, the trait coaches prize and fans overlook. Born in Toulouse in 1992 and a France youth international across the under-16, 17 and 18 sides, he began as a defensive midfielder but reinvented himself as a full-back and a centre-back in a back three for Nantes and Saint-Étienne. That positional flexibility is gold: a player who fills any gap without complaint keeps a squad sane over a long season. He may never headline, but careers like his are the connective tissue of a team. I hope he keeps going for a good while yet.
