Vhakka Eddy Stelh Gnahoré (born 14 November 1993) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga I club Dinamo București.
He began his professional career in England with Birmingham City, for whom he played in the FA Cup, and then moved to Italy where he spent one-and-a-half seasons with Carrarese.
He joined Napoli in January 2016, and was immediately loaned to Carpi, but before making an appearance for them, he was involved in a car accident and missed the rest of the season.
[5] He was given a first-team squad number in January 2012,[6] and his first competitive involvement came when he was named among the substitutes for the third-round FA Cup replay against Wolverhampton Wanderers, remaining unused.
[7] Gnahoré made his first-team debut on 28 January, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Chris Burke in the fourth-round FA Cup-tie against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, with Birmingham already 4–0 ahead.
[9] He returned to first-team consideration when given a squad number and a place on the bench for the visit to Leeds United in the third round of the FA Cup in January 2013.
[10] In August 2013, Gnahoré had a trial with Mansfield Town,[11] and on the last day of the summer transfer window, his contract with Birmingham City was terminated by mutual consent.
[17][18] On 26 January 2016, Gnahoré signed for Napoli, who immediately loaned him to fellow Serie A club Carpi until the end of the 2016–17 season.
[33][34] After a lengthy wait for the season to start after COVID-19 pandemic-related delays, he played regularly, making 14 appearances between August and October and scoring once.
[37] Gnahoré returned to Amiens for pre-season training in 2021, but six matches into the 2021–22 Ligue 2 season, head coach Philippe Hinschberger still did not consider him physically ready for competitive football.
[42][43] He trained with the first team in April 2023, was on the bench by the end of the month, and the coach said he needed game time to get back to his peak and would use him if he saw fit.
[49] He made 16 appearances[17] as Dinamo finished 13th, so faced a play-off against Csíkszereda of Liga II to decide which would play top-flight football in 2024–25.
[51] On 24 August, he scored in the 2-1 home win against CS Universitatea Craiova, being named Man of the Match[52] and in the Liga I Team of the Week.
