Axel Kayombo

Axel Kayombo of Sturm Graz was born on 25 February 2006 (age 20).

Axel Kayombo, born on 25 February 2006 (age 20), is a French right winger whose senior career has been shaped mainly at Sturm Graz. He wears the number 11 shirt and is valued at around £1.5m by Transfermarkt.

His first sustained league involvement came with Sturm, where he has made 19 league appearances across two seasons. The 2025-26 campaign was his most productive so far, with one goal in 16 league games – modest returns, but enough to mark him as part of the first-team picture rather than just a fringe name.

In 2026-27, Kayombo has made 12 appearances for Sturm Graz across all competitions, including Austrian Bundesliga, Champions League qualifying and Europa League matches. At this stage, his career is still a developing one, but Graz is clearly where his senior football has taken shape.
