Banana Yaya (born 29 July 1991) is a Cameroonian professional football player who plays in central defence or as a right back for Superleague Greece side Platanias. He weighs in at 108kg and is 1.92m tall.
Career
In June 2009, Yaya signed with Tunisian Top Club Espérance Sportive de Tunis where he started his professional playing career. He signed for Sochaux from Espérance Tunis on 17 January 2012.
Yaya was sent on loan to Swiss club Lausanne-Sport for the 2013-14 season. On 30 July 2014, he signed for Super League side Platanias F.C. for an undisclosed fee. He immediately became the undisputed leader of the club’s defense. On 19 October 2016, it seems that the Cameroonian international central defender has attracted interest from Turkey ahead of the January transfer season. The current contract of the 23-year-old international expires at summer of 2017 and the administration of cretan club would be extremely interested in extending it or selling him immediately, in order to make an important profit and strengthen the team’s squad.
International career
Yaya made his debut for Cameroon starting against Thailand in a friendly match in March 2015.
