Mathis Amougou (born 18 January 2006) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Strasbourg.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Born in Le Blanc-Mesnil, Amougou has three brothers; one elder, a twin and one younger, all of whom also play football.[3] He first took an interest in football as a child, accompanying his elder brother to his football training sessions in Sevran, though he was not able to register with any club as he was too young.[3]

Early career

[edit | edit source]

After his family moved to La Ferté-Gaucher, Amougou began his career with local side Entente Brie Est, spending two seasons before a move to Torcy in 2014.[4] While at Torcy, he was also enrolled at the prestigious football academy INF Clairefontaine.[4]

Saint-Étienne

[edit | edit source]

Amougou who had already been training with the academy of professional side Saint-Étienne, moved officially in July 2021.[3][5]

After a year playing youth football with Saint-Étienne, he was promoted to the club's second team, competing in the Championnat National 3. Mid-way through his first season in senior football, in April 2023, he signed his first professional contract with the club, penning a two-year deal.[6]

After making his senior debut on 13 January 2024 in a goalless draw against Laval in Ligue 2,[7] he established himself as a more regular starter during the first half of the 2024–25 Ligue 1.[8]

Chelsea

[edit | edit source]

On 3 February 2025, Amougou signed an eight-year contract with Premier League club Chelsea,[9] for a reported transfer fee of €15 million.[10] On 26 February, he made his debut as a substitute in a match against Southampton.

Strasbourg

[edit | edit source]

On 12 July 2025, Amougou signed a reported five year contract with Ligue 1 club Strasbourg.[11]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Of Cameroonian descent, Amougou is eligible to represent both Cameroon and France at international level. In 2022, following impressive performances for Saint-Étienne's youth team, French national youth coach Jean-Luc Vannuchi called him up for a double-header against Germany, and he made his under-16 debut in the second of these two games.[12]

Despite this being his only appearance for the under-16 squad, he remained a player of interest for Vannuchi, and having impressed at both under-17 and under-18 level, he was called up to the squad for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[13] In France's second game against South Korea, Amougou's goal in the 2nd-minute lead France to a 1–0 win, ensuring his nation progressed to the knockout stages.[14]
