Samsunspor are being linked with a move for USL Dunkerque’s central midfielder Antoine Sekongo.
The 21-year-old, valued at €3.00m on Transfermarkt, is the subject of fresh speculation over a switch from France’s Ligue 2 to the Turkish Süper Lig, with the rumour logged on 4 May 2026 and the probability of the move still listed as “?”. The report suggests Samsunspor are monitoring the right-footed midfielder as they assess options for their engine room.
Sekongo, who wears the number 8 shirt for Dunkerque, is a central midfielder by trade and is regarded as a modern box-to-box option. Born on 13 June 2004 in Attécoubé, he holds dual nationality with Mali and Côte d’Ivoire, adding potential international flexibility for any future club. Standing at 1.78m, he has been developing his game in Ligue 2, where Dunkerque have used him predominantly through the middle.
There is no publicly listed contract expiry date for Sekongo at Dunkerque, leaving room for uncertainty over whether he could run down his deal and leave as a free agent in a future window if no extension is agreed. For now, however, his situation is officially tied to the French side, with no confirmation of an imminent departure.
The latest update to his profile, including his €3.00m market valuation, came ahead of the current round of transfer gossip, underlining why he may be seen as an attainable but potentially high-upside option for Samsunspor as they compete in the Süper Lig.
With his age, dual-national background and growing reputation at USL Dunkerque, a successful move to Samsunspor – should it progress beyond rumour – could represent a significant next step in Sekongo’s career trajectory and raise his profile on a larger European stage.
