Malamine Efekele (born 19 July 2004) is a French professional footballer who plays for Belgian club Cercle Brugge, on loan from Monaco.
Born in Livry-Gargan, Malamine Efekele joined the AS Monaco academy in 2019, from the Bondy football club, after also spending some time in the INF Clairefontaine. [2] [3] [4] [5]
During the 2021–22 season, despite being sidelined for several months because of injury, he was among the top goalscorer of Monaco under-19s. [4] [6] [7]
Efekele signed his first professional contract with the club on the summer 2022, then making headlines for his striking resemblance to Kylian Mbappé, both in term of profile—a Bondy-grown paced striker playing in the Monaco academy—and physical appearance. [4] [6] [8] [9]
The following season, he played both the Championnat U19 and the Premier League International Cup, [10] [11] emerging as one of the standouts of the academy by March 2023, having proven to be decisive against the likes of West Ham, as he scored a brace in a 2–1 away International Cup win against them. [12]
On 24 January 2024, Efekele moved on loan to Cercle Brugge in Belgium. [13]
Efekele was born in France and is of DR Congolese descent. He was called up to a training camp for the DR Congo U20s in December 2021. [14] He is a youth international for France, first receiving a call with the under-19 in March 2023, along the likes of Warren Zaïre-Emery and Mathys Tel. [15] [16]
In May 2023, he was selected with France under-20s for the FIFA World Cup. [10] [11]
