Sékou Mara, born on 30 July 2002 (age 23), is a French striker whose senior career began to take shape at Bordeaux. His best league return came there in 2021-2022, when he scored six goals in 26 appearances – modest enough, but enough to mark him out as a forward worth tracking.
He is now primarily associated with Strasbourg, with his market value around £4.5m according to Transfermarkt. He was linked with a move to Celtic in September 2025 while at Strasbourg, though that sits in the usual category of transfer interest rather than anything more concrete.
In 2025-2026, Mara remained a regular first-team presence, making 27 league appearances and scoring three goals for Auxerre. That return does not suggest a striker tearing the place up, but it does show a player still getting proper minutes and staying in the senior picture.
Mara’s career so far is that of a developing French forward who has moved beyond early promise at Bordeaux and remains active at first-team level. The next step is plain enough: turn regular involvement into more consistent output.
