Sambou Soumano

Sambou Soumano of Reims was born in Dakar, Senegal on 13 January 2001 (age 25).

Sambou Soumano, born on 13 January 2001 (age 25), is a Senegalese striker with Reims, where he wears squad number 99. His current market value is around £2m, according to Transfermarkt.

His best league return came at Lorient in 2024-2025, when he scored 14 goals in 31 appearances. That season gave his career a bit of weight beyond the usual promise attached to young centre-forwards.

At Reims in 2026-2027, Soumano has made seven Ligue 2 appearances and scored one goal. His career so far is a straightforward one: a Senegalese forward who made his strongest mark at Lorient and is now building his next spell in France with Reims.
