Alieu Fadera, born on 3 November 2001 (age 24), is a Gambian left winger with Sassuolo, where he wears squad number 20. His market value is around £4m, according to Transfermarkt.
Fadera’s most productive league season came in Belgium with Zulte Waregem in 2022–2023, when he scored six goals in 33 appearances. That remains the clearest attacking return of his senior career so far, though his game has since moved on to a tougher domestic setting in Italy.
At Sassuolo in 2025–2026, he has remained a regular first-team presence. He has made 28 Serie A appearances, scoring two goals, and added two Coppa Italia outings, taking him to 30 appearances and two goals in all competitions for the club this season.
He has also stayed involved with Gambia, making eight appearances in African World Cup qualifying this season and scoring once. His career is still developing, but he is already an established senior player at club and international level.
