Club career

Lens

Born in San Pédro, Ivory Coast, Gbamin had spells with French clubs Aire-sur-la-Lys and US Saint-Quentin Blessy, before joining Lens in 2007. In 2013, Gbamin broke into the first team after impressing in the second team, making his debut on 10 May in a 7–0 defeat against Guingamp, in which he replaced Alexandre Coeff fourteen minutes in. [3] Gbamin was assigned the number 25 ahead of the 2013–14 Ligue 2 campaign. On 17 August 2013, Gbamin was given his first Lens start by manager Antoine Kombouaré in a 4–1 victory against Auxerre. [4] On 30 September 2013, Gbamin scored his first goal for Lens in a 3–2 victory over Metz. [5] On 23 November 2013, he scored again in a 2–0 victory over Châteauroux. [6] On 13 February 2014, Gbamin scored the winning goal in extra time, helping Lens to a 2–1 victory over Ligue 1 side Lyon to advance to the quarter-finals of the 2013–14 Coupe de France. [7] By the end of the 2013–14 campaign, Gbamin started to make his Lens breakthrough as a regular starter, assisting them in their promotion to Ligue 1.

Mainz 05

On 13 July 2016, Gbamin joined Bundesliga side Mainz 05 on a five-year contract. [8] On 12 May 2018, Gbamin scored his first goal for Mainz in a 1–2 loss to Werder Bremen. On 4 November 2018, he scored another goal against Werder Bremen, this time in a 2–1 victory. [9] He scored again on the next match day, 10 November 2018, opening the scoring in a 3–1 victory over SC Freiburg at the Dreisamstadion. [10] He made 86 league appearances for Mainz over three seasons, featuring at both the defensive midfield and center back positions.

Everton

Gbamin signed for Premier League club Everton on 2 August 2019 on a five-year contract for a £25 million fee. [11] He made appearances in the club's first two games of the season, before being ruled out for eight weeks due to a thigh injury. [12] In October, it was announced Gbamin would be out injured until January 2020 after having surgery on a thigh injury, [13] but in January he suffered a further setback when additional surgery would keep him out until the end of the season. [14] In May, he injured an Achilles tendon in training, with it estimated he would be injured until November. [15]

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti stated during an interview in January 2021 that he was hopeful to have Gbamin back in training as soon as possible, but stressed the need for patience with his recovery, insisting he had a role to play in the team despite an extended spell on the sidelines. [16] On 5 April, Gbamin came on as a substitute for James Rodríguez in Everton’s 1–1 home league draw against Crystal Palace, making his first appearance for the club since August 2019 due to injury, [17] but a week later Gbamin would again be sidelined following a knee injury. [18]

Gbamin made a return from injury in October 2021 when he was listed for selection on the Everton bench for three successive Premier League games. Then on the 2nd of November 2021 Gbamin was listed on Everton’s starting 11 to face off against Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home.

CSKA Moscow loan

On 21 February 2022, CSKA Moscow announced the loan signing of Gbamin until the end of the season. [19] On 20 March 2022, Gbamin scored his first goal with CSKA in a 6–1 rout of Rubin Kazan. [20] On 19 May 2022, CSKA confirmed that Gbamin would leave the club upon the expiration of his loan term. [21]

Trabzonspor loan

On 22 August 2022, Gbamin joined Trabzonspor on loan for the season. [22] Gbamin made his debut with Trabzonspor on 28 August 2022, coming on for Emmanouil Siopis at halftime in a 0–0 draw with Galatasaray. [23] He ended the season making 24 appearances for the Turkish side.

Return to Everton and departure

On 30 May 2023, Gbamin's agent said the player's time at Everton had been "a nightmare" and he wanted to leave the club, even though he had one season left on his contract. [24] Gbamin's contract was terminated on 2 September 2023. [25]

Dunkerque

On 8 November 2023, Gbamin joined Ligue 2 club Dunkerque on a free transfer, signing a contract until the end of the season. [26] On 3 May 2024, Gbamin scored his first goal with Dunkerque, the winner in an important 2–1 victory over Quevilly-Rouen, a match between two sides trying to avoid relegation. [27] A week later, on 10 May 2024, Gbamin scored another important goal for Dunkerque, the equalizer in a 2–2 draw with Caen, a result that helped maintain his club in Ligue 2. [28]

Nantes

On 28 August 2024, Gbamin signed for Ligue 1 club Nantes for one season. [29]
