Silvere Ganvoula, born on 22 June 1996 in Congo, is a well-respected forward who currently plays as a striker for Young Boys Bern. He has developed a robust physical presence reminiscent of the old school centre forwards with his impressive 6ft 3in (1.91m) frame and hefty weight of 14st 2lb (90kg). Donning the number 35 jersey, his on-pitch presence is further accentuated.
Ganvoula has been priced at around £1.7m by Transfermarkt, where he also has 1.5 years remaining on his contract with Young Boys Bern, set to lapse on 30 June 2026.
It was in the 2015 - 2016 season that Ganvoula made his shining debut at Elazigspor in Turkey, where, in his 16 maiden first team appearances, he managed to net five goals. A successful tenure at Westerlo in Belgium followed in 2016 - 2017, with him making 26 first team appearances and scoring nine goals.
His stint as a striker in Anderlecht, during the 2017 - 2018 season, was marked by his nine first team appearances and three goals. Simultaneously, he was also seen playing for Mechelen, where he continued his brisk pace with additional nine first team appearances. This was followed by his switch to Germany's Bochum in the 2018 - 2019 season, where he scored five goals in his 21 premier league appearances - a stint that continued for three more seasons.
After a brief five first-team appearance spell at Cercle Brugge in Belgium during the 2021 - 2022 season, he returned to Bochum for another 16 first team appearances in the following 2022 - 2023 season. In the 2023 - 2024 season, Ganvoula made a significant leap scoring nine goals in his 35 first team appearances for Young Boys Bern, while in the current season he's made 16 first team appearances and secured five goals.
His European exploits also merit recognition, featuring six times as a substitute in Champions League 2023 - 2024 for Young Boys Bern, showing his skills in the Europa League 2023 - 2024 where he scored in two appearances, while also making significant contributions in Champion League's qualifiers in 2024 - 2025, and showcasing his knack for goals in Champions League 2024 - 2025 featuring four times.
