The 22-year-old has starred at the back for Sevilla since signing for the La Liga outfit in 2019 from Bordeaux.
He made his name in France’s top flight before earning himself a move to Spain, where he has enhanced his reputation as a centre-back.
He has two international caps to his name having made his debut against Wales in a friendly match.
Kounde, though, started France’s last Euro 2020 fixture, starting at right-back against Portugal.
