Hassan-Malick Sanogo (born June 30, 2004) is an American soccer player who plays for Union Berlin.
Early life[]
Sanogo was born in New York City, United States, and is the son of former Ivory Coast international soccer player Boubacar Sanogo.[2] He moved to Germany at the age of one, and played for Energie Cottbus before moving to Union Berlin in 2019, when his father was appointed coach of the under-17 side.[2][3]
Club career[]
Following his move to Union Berlin, Sanogo enjoyed a stellar 2019–20 season, scoring 16 goals and notching 7 assists in 21 games.[2][4] This form reportedly caught the attention of English Premier League sides Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.[5][6]
Having already trained with the first team, and playing in a friendly against Eintracht Braunschweig in March 2021, he signed his first professional contract in August of the same year.[2][7][8]
In October 2021, he was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation" list for 2021 - highlighting the best young players in the world.[9][10]
International career[]
Sanogo is eligible for the United States, Germany and Ivory Coast. He was called up to the Germany under-16 in August 2019, and then the Germany under-17 side in 2020, but the under-17 game he was set to feature in was cancelled.[2][11][12]
In November 2021, Sanogo was called up to the United States under-20 side, playing in three games.[13]
