Samuel Ballet, born 12 March 2001 in Switzerland, is a forward who predominantly serves as a right winger for Italian side Como. Standing at a height of 6ft (1.84m) and weighing a solid 12st 8lb (80kg), Ballet sports the number 70 jersey as part of Como's lineup.
Esteemed football database, Transfermarkt, estimates Ballet's current market value at a respectable £1m, a figure reflective of his steady appearances on the field and efficacy at finding the back of the net. His contract with Como, signed with an expiration date of 30 June 2027, ensures that the club looks forward to having his services for another season at least.
Despite his Swiss nationality, Ballet kicked off his professional football career a touch down the radar, making his first appearance for Young Boys Bern in Switzerland in the 2019 - 2020 season, scoring a goal. His budding potential was further validated in the 2022 - 2023 season with Winterthur in Switzerland, for whom he scored a goal in his 20 first team appearances. The following season, Ballet maintained his scoring form with Winterthur by striking five goals across 17 first team appearances.
Ballet's progression earned him a move to Italy in the 2023 - 2024 season with Como, where he made an handful of appearances, a trend he would build on with 26 first team displays, scoring three times, for Switzerland's FC Zurich in the 2024 - 2025 season.
