Silvere Ganvoula, born on 22 June 1996 (age 30), is a Congolese striker now with Al-Fayha. An imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m) centre-forward, he has built his career around presence, penalty-box work and the sort of physical profile that tends to keep clubs interested even when the goals come in bursts rather than streams.
His early career included loan spells that helped give him senior football before he settled into a more defined role. Those moves matter in the shape of his career: they were the practical bit of his development, away from the neat idea of a young striker simply arriving fully formed.
His most productive league season came with Bochum in 2019-20, when he scored 13 goals in 28 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of what he can offer when trusted with regular minutes and a proper run through a season.
Ganvoula is now at Al-Fayha, where he has made two Pro League appearances in 2026-27. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Across his career, Ganvoula has been a travelling, physically strong striker whose best spell came in Germany with Bochum and whose current chapter is in Saudi Arabia with Al-Fayha.
