Anthony Mbu Agogo Modeste is a French professional footballer who currently plays for German club 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga.
Club career
On 13 August 2010, Modeste joined Bordeaux from OGC Nice for an undisclosed fee thought to be €3.5 million and signed a four-year contract with the club.
On 19 January 2012, Modeste joined Blackburn Rovers on loan for the rest of the 2011-12 Premier League season, with his French employers insisting there would be no option to buy at the end of the loan period.
Blackburn Rovers got relegated in the 2011-12 Premier League season after Modeste got a red card in one of the final games of the season against West Bromwich Albion F.C. which Blackburn ultimately lost 3:0 and made survival for the next season practically impossible.
On 31 July 2012, he signed on loan for Bastia.
He scored on his debut in a 3:2 victory over Sochaux.
On 9 July 2013, Modeste signed with 1899 Hoffenheim on a three-year contract.
Modeste featured in 62 competitive matches for Hoffenheim, scoring 23 goals in the process.
FC Köln
On 26 June 2015, Modeste joined fellow German club FC Köln for an undisclosed fee, signing a four-year deal.
On 8 August 2015, Modeste marked his competitive debut by scoring a hat-trick in a 4:0 win at SV Meppen in the first round of the DFB-Pokal.
His first goal came after just 45 seconds, making it the fastest DFB-Pokal cup goal in the history of FC Köln.
Modeste's first season at Köln was a successful one, leading the team with 15 league goals. He scored many crucial goals, including the winner against Borussia Dortmund.

In homage to Makélélé, many fans and pundits alike have dubbed the defensive midfield position as the "Makélélé Role".

In July 2008, Arsenal fans voted him as Arsenal's greatest player ever in Arsenal.com's Gunners' Greatest 50 Players poll. At Barcelona, Henry was given the number 14 jersey, the same as he had worn at Arsenal.
He has 107 caps for France, and was part of their 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000-winning sides, as well as their runner-up finish in the 2006 World Cup.
