Career
Early career
Neyou started his career with Sedan in the Championnat National, where good performances had him linked with Belgian side Standard Liège[1] and French champions Paris Saint Germain.[2] However, he ultimately joined Ligue 2 side Stade Lavallois in early 2017.[3] He made his debut against Red Star on 10 February 2017, coming on as a substitute for Romain Bayard.[4]

On 10 July 2020, Neyou joined Ligue 1 club AS Saint-Étienne on a one-year loan with an option to buy.[5][6] He made his first appearance with the club as a substitute in the 2020 Coupe de France final against Paris Saint-Germain, which ended in a 1–0 victory for the Parisian club.[7][8]
After putting up some good performances, Neyou earned himself a permanent deal with Saint-Étienne on 18 November 2020. He signed a contract lasting until 2024.[9] The transfer would be completed at the beginning of the upcoming winter transfer window.
