The Kerala Blasters are pleased to confirm the signing of French forward Kévin Yoke for the 2025–26 Indian Super League campaign.
The 29-year-old French international attacker, born 23 June 1996 in Clamart, France, primarily operates as a left winger but is equally capable on the right flank, offering versatility across the front line. Yoke — a product of the Paris Saint-Germain youth system — spent the majority of his career in competitive tiers of Greek football, notably with Levadiakos and PAE Chania, where he has honed his pace, crossing ability and direct attacking play.
Yoke’s playing style is defined by his ability to challenge defenders in wide areas, stretch opposition backlines and create goal-threatening scenarios from the flanks. Comfortable on both feet, he combines technical ball control with intelligent movement in transition, providing tactical variation tailored to The Blasters’ attacking philosophy. His experience in European systems equips him with positional adaptability — a quality that enhances the team’s forward dynamics.
The acquisition of Yoke aligns with Kerala Blasters FC’s broader strategy to blend youth and experience, strengthening attacking depth while maintaining structural balance throughout the squad. With a sharp focus on pace and creativity in the final third, Yoke’s addition is expected to augment the team’s offensive patterns and offer Head Coach David Català additional options in wide attacking rotations.
Abhik Chatterjee, CEO, Kerala Blasters FC welcomed Kevin to the fold, “We welcome Kevin to our Indian shores. It will be a good chance for him to show us all what he is about. I would like to wish him the very best for the season ahead.“
Kevin commented on his signing, “I am very happy to join Kerala Blasters and can’t wait to meet the squad and get started. I am ready to give everything to meet the challenge that awaits us.”
