Cheikh Niasse (born 19 January 2000, age 26) is a Senegalese defensive midfielder with Genclerbirligi. His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His senior career has been shaped mainly by his time at Young Boys. Before that spell settled him, loan football formed part of his development, giving him the sort of early grounding most midfielders need before the proper judgement starts.
At Young Boys, he made 80 league appearances across four seasons, scoring once. His most productive league season there was 2021-22, when he made 10 appearances and scored one goal.
Niasse is now at Genclerbirligi, where he has made one Süper Lig appearance in 2026-27. His career to this point is that of an established professional midfielder, with Young Boys providing the main substance of his record.
