A French striker who joined Arsenal for £2.5million also played in England for Blackburn Rovers and West Ham United.
Having made little impact at Paris St Germain in 1999-2000 Kaba joined Blackburn Rovers last August in a long-term loan deal. He featured mostly from the subs' bench at Ewood Park, netting his only goal in the Worthington Cup first round tie against Rochdale. In September Premiership club West Ham stepped in to take over his contract but he failed to establish himself in the Hammers' first team despite fine performances in the victories over Southampton and Middlesbrough. A powerful burly striker he is quick for a big man and well suited to the physical nature of the English game.
