Anthony Mbu Agogo Modeste (born 14 April 1988) is a French professional footballer who currently plays for German club 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga.
Modeste started his career as a teenager at French club Nice. He showed glimpses of his huge potential when he played for Nice, with several very impressive performances for one so young. During the 2009–2010 season, Modeste was loaned out to Angers. At only 21 years of age, Modest proved to be a huge success at Angers, scoring 20 League goals during that season and also being named in the League's team of the season. His eye catching performances during his loan spell at Angers attracted the interest of several big French and English clubs.
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. His lone season at Bastia was a huge success, as he scored 15 league goals in the French top division and he set up many other goals for team mates. He was Bastia's best player of that season.
On 9 July 2013, Modeste signed with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on a three-year contract. Modeste made his club debut in the DFB-Pokal at fifth-tier SG Aumund-Vegesack on 3 August, scoring two goals and assisting one. Modeste's Bundesliga debut came on 10 August against Nürnberg, scoring a goal in the 2–2 draw. The following weekend at Hamburg, Modeste scored a brace in the 1–5 victory, en route to scoring six goals in his first seven games in the Bundesliga with Hoffenheim.
