The club's latest number nine was born in France and represents DR Congo at international level.

Yoane's career began with French side Châteauroux, where he progressed through the youth system before making a switch to Angers in 2016. Loan spells at Laval and Ajaccio followed, but it was upon joining then Ligue 2 side Lorient in January 2018 that he began to make his mark.

Yoane helped Lorient reach the French top-flight, where he went on to score ten times, before earning his move to newly-promoted Brentford in 2021.

The striker quickly established himself in the Premier League and departed the Bees with 49 goals from 149 games to his name in all competitions, including a personal high of 19 league goals in 2024/25.
