Abdoulie Ceesay (born 5 January 2004) is a Gambian footballer who plays as a forward for FC St. Pauli.
Career
Ceesay started his career with Gambian side Real de Banjul FC, helping the club win the league title. In 2024, he was sent on loan to Estonian side Paide Linnameeskond. Subsequently, he signed for German Bundesliga side FC St. Pauli in 2025, becoming the first player to transfer directly from an Estonian side to a Bundesliga side. On 15 January 2025, he debuted for the club during a 0-1 away loss to VfL Bochum in the league.
Style of play
Ceesay plays as a forward and is known for his speed and strength. German newspaper Hamburger Morgenpost wrote in 2025 that "Ceesay's style of play certainly has parallels to that of Johannes Eggestein; he also likes to take part in the build-up, drops back, demands the ball".
