Alexandre Mendy (born 20 March 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ligue 2 club Caen. Born in France, he plays for the Guinea-Bissau national team.

Club career

[edit]

A youth product of Nice, Mendy was loaned six months in 2014 to semi-professional club Strasbourg to gain more playing time.[1] He was again loaned eight months later to Ligue 2 side Nîmes,[2] where he made his full professional in September 2014, in a 2–0 Ligue 2 defeat against Gazélec Ajaccio.[3]

On 21 June 2016, Mendy signed for Ligue 1 side Guingamp.[4] The transfer fee was estimated at between €600,000 and 1 million.[5]

In June 2017, Mendy moved to league rivals Bordeaux, signing a four-year deal.[5][6]

On 29 October 2024, Mendy became the all-time top scorer of Caen after netting a brace in a 3–0 win over Martigues. His second goal of the match was his 70th for Caen, surpassing Cyrille Watier's previous record of 69 goals for the club.[7]

International career

[edit]

Mendy is of Senegalese and Bissau-Guinean descent.[8] He was called up to represent the Guinea-Bissau national team in October 2020.[9][10] Mendy debuted for Guinea-Bissau in a 1-0 Africa Cup of Nations qualification loss to Senegal on 15 November 2020.[11]

Personal life

[edit]

Mendy is the cousin of fellow footballers Nampalys Mendy and Bafétimbi Gomis.[12]
