Senegalese central defender Aboubacar Lô bolsters Amiens SC defence with ambitious two-year deal

Amiens SC have officially secured the signing of Senegalese central defender Aboubacar Lô, with the 25-year-old putting pen to paper on a contract that will keep him at the club until 2027.

The former FC Metz player arrives as a free agent, eager to bring his defensive prowess and competitive edge to the Picardy outfit.

Lô’s arrival is a strategic move by Amiens, who are keen to inject experience and solidity into a youthful and ambitious squad.

Known for his tenacity, anticipation, and aerial dominance, the Senegalese defender is expected to become a cornerstone of the club’s backline as they push to establish themselves as serious contenders in Ligue 2.

A product of the renowned Génération Foot academy in Senegal, Lô’s journey to the French professional scene began with a move to FC Metz in 2019.

Initially featuring for the club’s reserve team in National 3, he soon made a name for himself with an impressive loan spell at SO Cholet in the Championnat National.

Over the course of 28 appearances, Lô not only marshalled the defence but also showcased his offensive threat by netting six goals—a remarkable tally for a centre-back.

Upon his return to Metz, Lô continued his steady rise, breaking into the first team and accumulating 30 appearances across all competitions.

He played a pivotal role in Metz’s promotion campaign in 2023, demonstrating reliability and consistency.

His contributions were further highlighted during the 2024/25 season, where he featured in 16 Ligue 2 matches, solidifying his reputation as a dependable defensive asset.
