He has made two appearances for his country's U21 side so far.
Attacker Ebrima Colley has been signed on a loan deal from Serie A side Atalanta.

Silvere Ganvoula, a well-known player in Germany, made the move to Bern in the summer transfer window. The Congolese centre forward played for VfL Bochum from 2018 before signing for Young Boys, where he scored 23 goals and recorded ten assists in 110 competitive fixtures (1. and 2. Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal). In the second half of the 2021/22 season, the 27-year-old signed for Cercle Brugge in Belgium on a loan deal. He opened his account for YB on matchday 3 against FC Winterthur. Ganvoula is 191cm tall, meaning he is a physical player who is strong in the air, and is very fast despite his height.
Right-back Saidy Janko returned to Bern after having most recently spent two seasons with Real Valladolid (Spain) and one season on loan at VfL Bochum, for whom he made 20 appearances last season. The defender played on loan for YB in the 2019/20 season and was part of the squad that won the league and cup. He has now signed a permanent contract with the club. Janko is said to be a real asset to the team due to his power, strength and passion for the game.
Young Boys signed Swedish international Noah Persson at the beginning of this year, though he remained at Mjällby AIF in Sweden for the remainder of the season, before arriving in Bern this summer. The 20-year-old is a talented left-back, who made his international debut in a friendly against Finland in January 2023.
