Pape Habib Gueye is a Senegalese forward, born on 20th September 1999, who plays primarily as a striker for Aberdeen. He stands at 5ft 10in (1.79m) and weighs 11st 13lb (76kg), donning the number 14 jersey for his team. The value of this talent in the current market, according to Transfermarkt, sits around an estimated Β£1m. His contract with Aberdeen, incidentally, is due to expire on 31st May 2026, leaving 1 year and 1 month until that date.
In terms of his career trajectory, Gueye was first seen in the OBOS-ligaen in Norway, having joined Aalesunds in April 2018. By January 2020, Gueye transferred to Kortrijk in the Belgian Pro League for a fee which remains undisclosed. His inaugural season with Kortrijk provided him with four first team appearances and a single goal in league matches. Progressive improvement was evident in his performances across the follow-up seasons, making a further 74 appearances and scoring an additional 13 goals through 2021 to 2023. In the 2023 - 2024 season, however, he only made one appearance with Kortrijk.
August of 2023 marked a significant shift in Gueye's career, as he made the move from the Belgian Pro League to the Scottish Premiership, joining Aberdeen for an undisclosed fee. His time in Scotland thus far indicates a promising stint, with 4 appearances and 6 goals scored across the 2023 - 2024, and the 2024 - 2025 seasons. However, February of 2024 saw Gueye transferred temporarily on loan to Kristiansund in the Eliteserien in Norway. Here, he secured 4 goals from 15 appearances before returning to Aberdeen in July of the same year.
On returning to Scotland, Gueye has continued to enhance his reputation, making a further 20 appearances and scoring six goals in league matches for the current season (2024 - 2025).

During the Conference League for 2023 - 2024, Gueye managed a single start.
