Ballou Jean-Yves Tabla signs MLS contract with the Impact

One of the gems of the Montreal Impact and its academy has finally made the jump with the pro team. Some call him prodigy, others call him the "next great one’’ but he is known as Ballou Jean-Yves Tabla.

The young winger has signed a 2-year contract with the Montreal Impact as a Homegrown Player. As of 2017, he will be joining the MLS club but not before participating in a 10-day camp with Bologna in November of this year.

Having shined with FC Montreal in the USL (5 goals and 5 assists), the Cote d’Ivoire native has really impressed many observers around the USL, MLS and even in the EPL.
