Pierre Ekwah, born on the 15th of January, 2002 in France, is a stoic figure on the midfield who typically guards the gates of the defence for Saint-Etienne in Ligue 2. Standing at 6 foot 2 inches tall (1.89m) and weighing in at 12 stone and 3 pounds (78kg), Ekwah is no shrinking violet in the hustle and bustle of the midfield battle.
At present, his market value is highlighted to be in the region of £5.9m, according to information from the well-renowned site Transfermarkt
Reminiscing over his career thus far, one can pinpoint particular moments of transition that have defined his journey. He bid adieu to Chelsea in July of 2021, making a move to fellow Premier League side, West Ham United, the details of which were shrouded in mystery.
Changes abound in football and so it was that Ekwah journeyed from East London to the North East, joining Sunderland in January 2023. He introduced himself to the Black Cats' faithful with a debut season comprising fourteen first-team appearances. The subsequent 2023-24 season saw Ekwah engrave his name on the scoresheet five times during a hefty forty appearances in the league match lineup.
In lieu of the constant ebb and flow of football, Ekwah found himself on the shores of France, joining Saint-Etienne on loan in August of 2024. Notching twenty-nine appearances and a single goal in the 2024-25 season, he had a favourable impact. However, currently, in the season of 2025-26, he has yet to step onto the pitch for Saint-Etienne.
Before completion of his loan period, Sunderland, and Ekwah decided to part ways permanently, with Saint-Etienne securing his services for an amount bordering £5.2m in August of 2025. He managed another 29 appearances, dutifully adding one more goal to his record that season. Nevertheless, here in the ongoing season of 2025-26, Ekwah remains absent from Saint-Etienne's first-team appearances thus far.
