Official | Former AC Milan and Watford striker M’Baye Niang joins Dunkerque USL Dunkerque, currently playing in Ligue 2, officially announced the signing of M’Baye Niang (31) this Saturday. A free agent since leaving Turkish club Gençlerbirliği SK – for whom he made 27 appearances, scoring six goals and providing two assists last season – the Senegalese centre-forward has signed a one-season contract with an option for a further season with the northern side. A product of the SM Caen academy, where he made his professional debut, Niang has enjoyed a distinguished career and is set to represent his sixteenth club – including AC Milan, Watford and Wydad AC – as he approaches his 32nd birthday. He is an experienced and high-quality addition to USLD, which was already bolstered by the arrival of 2018 World Cup winner Steven Nzonzi (37) a few weeks ago. Having played for Montpellier HSC, Stade Rennais, Girondins de Bordeaux and AJ Auxerre, Niang has made over 160 appearances and scored around 40 goals in Ligue 1. GFFN  |  Léo Aschi
