Pathé Mboup (born 19 October 2003) is a Senegalese footballer who plays as a left winger for Ligue 2 club Pau FC.

Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Mbao, Mboup was a member of the Dakar Sacré-Cœur youth academy. On 31 January 2022, Mboup joined Standard Liège on a short-term contract.[2] However, just six months after his arrival, Mboup terminated his contract with Standard Liège at the beginning of the summer of 2022.[3]

In August 2022, he completed his transfer to Lyon after a trial.[4] He was assigned to play with the reserve team and scored 8 goals after 20 appearances in the 2022–23 Championnat National 2.[5]

Professional career

[edit]

In September 2023, he was transferred to the Belgian Pro League club RWD Molenbeek,[6] a sister club of Lyon belonging to John Textor's Eagle Football Holdings Limited, without any transfer fee but with a 50% sell-on clause for Lyon on any future transfer profit.[7] On 28 September 2023, he made his professional debut in his team's 2–3 defeat against Union SG. On 16 December 2023, Mboup scored his first goal at the professional level and also assisted once to help his team win 3–0 against Sint-Truidense.[8]

In July 2024, he joined Pau FC in Ligue 2, signing a 3-year contract. He was given the number 9 shirt.[9] During the 2024–25 Ligue 2 pre-season, Mboup made a strong impression by scoring a hat-trick in a friendly match against Real Sociedad B, demonstrating his potential to become a key player for the team and make fans forget about Mons Bassouamina, who had left the club earlier in the summer.[10]

International career

[edit]

Mboup has also represented Senegal at the U23 level. He was among the 23 players called up by coach Demba Mbaye in September 2022 for friendly matches against Morocco, as part of the preparation for the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations.[11]
