Tidiane Keita

Tidiane Keïta made his way into professional football through Toulouse's academy, but it was outside Ligue 1's big clubs that his career actually took shape. From Toulouse B he moved into the lower tiers with US Albi, then spent three seasons with US Colomiers before joining US Orléans in 2019, where he signed his first professional contract.

Orléans became the platform for his move up the football pyramid. After three seasons there, he signed for USL Dunkerque in Ligue 2 in 2022, staying two years before taking his career abroad. In June 2024 he transferred to Romania's FC Petrolul Ploiești, a move reported at €400,000. He settled quickly enough that, just over a year later, CFR 1907 Cluj paid the same fee to bring him in, and he joined the club on 2 August 2025.

Born in Gonesse and of Guinean descent, Keïta has not represented any senior national team. His path has been built entirely through club football, moving up gradually rather than arriving as a highly touted prospect.
