Malick Sanogo

Club career Following his move to Union Berlin, Sanogo enjoyed a stellar 2019–20 season, scoring 16 goals and notching 7 assists in 21 games. This form reportedly caught the attention of English Premier League sides Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

Having already trained with the first team, and playing in a friendly against Eintracht Braunschweig in March 2021, he signed his first professional contract in August of the same year.

On September 2, 2023, Sanogo signed with 1. FC Nürnberg II.
