Mohammed "Momo" Sylla, (born March 13, 1977), is a Guinean footballer. He is currently on trial at Leeds United after leaving Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock. Sylla signed for previous club Leicester City at the beginning of the 2005-06 season, on a free transfer from Celtic.
Sylla, a Guinea international, started his football career at French Second Division club Créteil, on the outskirts of Paris, before moving on to Le Havre when he was 18.[1] He has also played for Le Mans[2][3] and St. Johnstone.
He is one of at least two Guinean football players commonly known as Mohammed Sylla. Another, Mohammed Lamine Sylla, played with Willem II Tilburg, FC Martigues and Ayr United amongst others.[4] The overlapping nature of the two players' careers has led to a degree of media confusion regarding the details of their transfers.
Sylla was an unused substitute in Celtic's 3-2 defeat against FC Porto in the 2003 UEFA Cup Final.

Sylla is the youngest of six children. He has two brothers and three sisters. From age 10, he was brought up by his sisters, in Paris, with his mother, Massiami Bamba, and father believing this was the best thing for him, as opportunities would be better than they were in Africa. Sylla keeps his religious beliefs private.[1]
