Mattéo Ahlinvi continues his journey in Europe by signing with Arsenal Tula, in the Russian second division. After experiences in France, Serbia and Sweden, the Beninese midfielder takes on a new challenge with the ambition of establishing himself and strengthening his role in the national team.

The transfer window still has surprises in store, and this time, it is Mattéo Ahlinvi who attracts attention. The 25-year-old Beninese international has signed with PFC Arsenal Tula, a club playing in the Russian second division. A new chapter opens for the midfielder, who continues his journey in European football.

Trained in France, Mattéo Ahlinvi has gained experience in several championships. After a stint in Ligue 1 with Nîmes Olympique (2020-2021) and in Ligue 2 under the colours of Dijon FCO (2021-2023), he played in Serbia with FK Čukarički (2023-2024), then in Sweden with Västerås SK (2024-2025). His transfer to Russia therefore marks his fifth professional adventure in a fourth European league.

By joining Arsenal Tula, Ahlinvi is taking on a new challenge in a competitive championship that is often underestimated. The Russian club, determined to return to the elite, is counting on the experience and versatility of the Beninese midfielder to strengthen its squad. His style of play, combining physical and technical impact, could quickly allow him to establish himself in midfield.

Our team wish him luck and success!
