Frédéric "Fredi" Kanouté (born September 2, 1977 in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon, near Lyon) is a French-Malian footballer, who plays for Sevilla in the Spanish league.

Kanouté's talents as a tall striker were first noticed by his local team, Olympique Lyonnais, and he joined them as an apprentice in 1997. He played for the French under-21 team while at the club.

Kanouté joined English club West Ham in 2000. He went on to play 56 times for the East London club, scoring 14 goals . His speed and awareness attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur who bought him at the end of the 2002-03 season.

Although eligible for either, Kanouté elected to play for Mali rather than for France. Kanoute was joint top goal scorer for Mali at the 2004 African Nations Cup. Kanoute scored 4 goals in 4 matches helping Mali to the Semifinals where they lost to Morocco.

Fredi enjoyed mixed success at Tottenham with occasional flashes of brilliance marked by apparent pique when he preferred the African Nations Cup over the Premiership and went AWOL from Tottenham's 2005 summer tour to Mauritius.

Kanoute was sold to Sevilla on 17 August 2005 for £4.4m. He was a second half substitute for the club in the UEFA Cup Final against Middlesbrough and scored in the 89th minute. Sevilla won 4-0.
