Mohamed Bayo, a French-born footballer who was connected with this world on the 4th day of June, 1998. Now 26 years of age, Bayo takes up the striker role for Lille, with his skill set making him a notable forward. Towering at 1.88m (6ft 2in) and tipping the scales at approximately 76kg (11st 13lb), he dons the number 27 jersey with pride. Outside his club activities, Bayo has had the honour of representing the Guinea national team.
At present, Mr. Bayo's market value circles around the €4.00m mark; however, in Pound Sterling, according to Transfermarkt, this equates to approximately £3.5m. Let's talk contracts - his current agreement with Lille is set to run its course by the 30th day of June, 2027, with a remaining tenure of 2.5 years.
Let's stroll down memory lane, shall we? During his introductory season (2018 - 2019) with Clermont Foot in the French leagues, Bayo was allowed to take the field for the first team on five occasions. The 2020 - 2021 season showed a significant increase in his involvement; with thirty-eight appearances and a commendable haul of twenty-two goals. The following season (2021 - 2022) saw Bayo rack up thirty-two appearances and fourteen goals.
Seeking new challenges, in the 2022 - 2023 season, Bayo bid au revoir to Clermont Foot and a hearty bonjour to Lille. His debut season resulted in twenty-seven appearances and four goals. The transitions didn't cease, in fact, by the 2023 - 2024 season, our lad made the move to Havre AC in France, where he made a sizeable contribution of five goals across twenty-two games.
Once again trading team jerseys, from the 2024 - 2025 season, Bayo returned to Lille garnering a humble tally of two goals from eleven matches. His international prowess includes participation in World Cup Qualifiers Africa for the years 2024 - 2026 for Guinea, and Lille's Champions League Qualifiers in 2024 - 2025, as well as the subsequent Champions League with one start and a substitute appearance each.
