Amadou Matar Coundoul (born 19 May 2002) is a Senegalese footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Sporting de Gijón.
Club career
Born in Guédiawaye, Coundoul played for local side Diambars FC before being brought to Spain in 2020, where he played for CD Raíces as a youth. In 2021, he joined Segunda División RFEF side UD Llanera.[2]
On 12 January 2023, after suffering relegation with Llanera, Coundoul was loaned to UD Montijo in the fourth tier, until June.[3][4] Back to his parent club in July, he scored 30 goals in just 34 matches during the 2023–24 season, and moved to Sporting de Gijón on 29 June 2024, being initially assigned to the reserves also in the fifth division.[5]
Coundoul was the top scorer of Sporting Atlético during the 2024–25 campaign with 17 goals,[6] and was called up to the first team in July 2025 for pre-season.[7] On 12 August of that year, he signed a professional one-year contract with the main squad, with an option for a further three years.[8]
International career
In 2019, Coundoul was called up to the Senegal national under-17 team.[9][10]
