Charly Keita (born 23 August 1999) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Belgian Pro League club Beerschot.[1]

Career

A youth product of Pau, Keita was promoted to the club's first team in September 2021.[2] He made his debut for the club as a late sub in a 2–1 Ligue 2 loss to Quevilly-Rouen on 11 December 2021, scoring his side's only goal in the 87th minute.[3] On 1 January 2022, he moved to Sedan.[4]

On 25 January 2023, Keita signed for Ligue 1 club Clermont Foot on an eighteen-month contract, joining partner Swiss 1. Liga club Biel-Bienne on loan until the end of the season.[5]

On 1 August 2023, Keita signed for Belgian Challenger Pro League club Beerschot on an initial two-year deal with the option for a further year.[6]

Dirk Kuyt was appointed mid-season as first-team coach, inspiring a surge up the table to see Beerschot crowned as Challenger Pro League champions for 2023-24, earning promotion to the top flight, the Belgian Pro League, after only two years away.
